It's impossible not to be touched by the innocence and vitality of these youngsters, and by the dedication of their teacher.

You get a feel for Wide Open Road pretty quick: it's sweet, slight and good-natured to the core. Hardly riveting or must-watch material but equally difficult to hate.

Rated: 3/5

The final concert, in Coonamble, is a triumph. And since we've seen how far they have come and what they have learnt, it's incredibly emotional.

Rated: 4/5

Beautiful documentary from Sydney filmmaker Lisa Nicol that follows choir director Michelle Leonard as she auditions, assembles, then rehearses a children's choir drawn from Outback New South Wales.

Rated: 3/5

There's not quite enough material to stretch this out to a full 90 minutes but Wide Open Sky is still a warm-hearted documentary that highlights the importance of artistic pursuits.

Rated: B
