Rock Me to the Moon

Taiwanese film Rock Me To The Moon is a heartwarming docu-drama about six ordinary men with an average age of 52. All of them are fathers of children stricken with rare illnesses. None of them are professional musicians. To relieve the pressure of caring for their children and family, they turned to music and a dream — that their amateur rock band can make it to the big stage at the highly competitive Sea Music Festival. It’s a film about courage, both for their dreams and their children’s happiness.

Today, 11.30am and 7pm, The Arts House Screening Room. Tickets from S$10 to S$13. www.sfs.org.sg/scff
