If films like Calendar Girls and The Full Monty top your list of all-time favourites, then you will love this
heart-warming and inspiring story.
MILITARY WIVES tells the story of a group of women who turned what was meant to be a therapeutic hobby
into a chart-topping success. An ode to female unity, the film centres around the attempts of military wives to
raise their spirits while their husbands are deployed.
“This film pays homage to the wives and girlfriends left behind,” explains Cattaneo. “Sometimes, the tougher
life gets, the more people need to make each other laugh just to survive. This is an honest story about people
who like to make each other laugh. It is a film about humanity, and humanity is full of comedy.”
MILITARY WIVES is based on the story of choirmaster Gareth Malone who, in 2011, took a group of military
wives under his wing when he was working on the BBC show The Choir. Research shows that singing in a choir
helps to alleviate stress and contributes to an improvement in isolation, anxiety and depression, and Malone’s
aim was to help the wives and girlfriends of soldiers deployed on military service to express their feelings
through song.
