This documentary shines a spotlight on an all-girl teenage singing group from Beaumont, TX. From 1942 to 1972, some 1,500 Melody Maids traveled to military bases and hospitals around the world, bringing their stellar voices, hometown smiles, goodwill, and moral support to soldiers immersed in the war efforts of the day.
Led by local music teacher Eloise Milam, the core theme of the Melody Maids was Morals, Manners, and Music. This singing group ventured into an array of challenges presented by the performance missions they embarked upon. From distant and remote military locations to travel conditions that were at times unimaginable, Eloise Milam and her Melody Maids raised the bar to American Hero level.
Featuring a post-screening Q&A with co-director Kai Jai Conner.
