In 2008‚ as part of his ENOUGH ROPE series‚ Andrew Denton screened a multi award-winning documentary THE MUSIC IN ME‚ which featured the amazing performers in the Merry Makers‚ as well as their artistic director Lucinda Bryant‚ a young woman who works at Taronga Zoo by day‚ but who has devoted all her Saturdays since the age of 16 to teaching this diverse group of disabled children and adults to dance.
LOVE IS IN THE AIR is the uplifting story of this unique group of people and their families‚ all of whom who have refused to be defeated by the hand life has dealt them. Bestselling author Sue Williams has teased out these powerful individual stories and woven them into a wonderful narrative that also features reflections from beloved Australian entertainers who often appear with the Merry Makers on stage at their concerts - including John Paul Young‚ Julia Morris‚ Andrew Denton‚ Todd McKenny and Marcia Hines‚ among others.
In a society where mental heath and disability are taboo subjects‚ LOVE IS IN THE AIR explodes the myths and explores humanity in a warm‚ friendly‚ frequently funny and positive way. It's sure to put a smile on our faces as we marvel at the strength of the human spirit.
