I found "Songbirds" to be an excellent film featuring great music of unique and uncommon themes.
This documentary portrays the heartrending lives and intimate experiences of women trapped behind the tangible and emotional bars that constitute their daily existence.
The featured women share personal pain and hope through music, in an array of styles and approaches. While some songs seem staged--presented in the fashion of a 'musical'--others feature raw emotion-driven performances by artists whose voices would most certainly never be heard, had it not been for this cinematic representation.
It makes one wonder if confinement quashes dreams of creative expression or strengthens them.
