EMI, the (RED) campaign and Channel 4 announce their collaboration on the UK release of multi award winning film WE ARE TOGETHER, with an Official Soundtrack (OST) album was released on 3rd March, ahead of the film's nationwide theatrical release on Friday 7th March.





WE ARE TOGETHER follows the extraordinary journey of the children at the Agape orphanage in South Africa, who form a choir and use their incredible music to help them overcome personal tragedy. Having lost their parents to AIDS at an early age, the children discover the power of their collective voices to strengthen their spirit and inspire others - travelling from the orphanage to New York to raise awareness of the impact of the disease through song.

EMI will release WE ARE TOGETHER OST which features The Children of Agape, Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. A special edition DVD will be released later in the year. Profits from the film, soundtrack and DVD are being donated by EMI to AIDS related charities and education initiatives through the RISE foundation, founded by WE ARE TOGETHER director, Paul Taylor and producer, Teddy Leifer. The film, which was part funded by the Channel 4 British Documentary Film Foundation and acquired for the US by HBO Documentary Films, will have its terrestrial TV premiere on Channel 4 in 2008.

* Filmed over three years, We Are Together tells the remarkable and moving story of a group of children who use music to overcome hardship and loss. It is the story of an orphanage, unlike one you''ve ever seen before, and of the drive of these remarkable young singers and their teachers to make it to London for a series of concerts.

* Life has not been easy for 12-year-old Slindile, her siblings and her friends at the Agape Orphanage in South Africa, where most of the children have lost their parents to AIDS. But they are still kids and teenagers, bashful around boys, squabbling with each other. And when they lift their voices in song, something extraordinary happens.

* As the kids at Agape orphanage continue to train for what they hope will be their big break, Slindile and her siblings are hit with more hard news - their oldest brother Sifiso, who has been sick for months, has AIDS.

* With unforgettable children, soaring music and a plot full of surprises, We Are Together arrives as a stirring and uplifting theatrical documentary.
