The Choir is a portrait of one of Sweden’s most popular choirs, Tensta Gospel Choir – and their crucial journey to Chicago, the hometown of gospel. The trip soon turns into a spiritual and emotional challenge, where questions of faith, leadership and spirituality will put the choir’s affinity for each other to the test. Can one sing gospel without believing in God? The film documents a crucial time in the choir’s history, while confronted with issues of religion, individuality and community.
