Life has not been easy 12 year old Slindile and her friends at the Agape orphanage in South Africa, but their voices ring loud and clear. As they come to terms with a series of painful setbacks, including the loss of loved ones to AIDS, their spirit stays strong and they sing their way along a journey they could only dream of. Thina Simunye (we are together) follows their remarkable story over the past three years.
