Over the years the Merry Makers have been the subject of various media stories on television, in newspapers and magazines, but now their story has been told in a feature length documentary film.
Made by Nigel Traill and Anne Kenyon, The Music In Me is a moving documentary that is being entered in film festivals around the world and is intended to be sold for tv, cinema & dvd release. Journalist, Author & Human Rights Activist Jeff McMullen called it “… a gentle and most moving masterpiece filled with the joy and the pain of human nature. It is the exquisite rendering of the stories of mothers and their children that makes this film truly memorable.” The filmmakers intend for the film to be sold for television, cinema and dvd release both nationally and internationally & hope that eventually this film will be seen by every high school student throughout Australia. |

The Music in Me tells the profoundly moving story of the Merry Makers - a unique dance troupe based in Sydney comprising 70 dancers with some intellectual or physical disability who dance their way into the hearts and minds of all who see them perform. During the 63-minute documentary feature, the dancers and their families are filmed with engaging tenderness, empathy and candour as they prepare for the biggest show of their lives – a sell-out concert at Sydney’s Entertainment Centre.
