Family can come in all shapes and sizes!
Choir is a 6-part documentary series following the kids of the Detroit Youth Choir as they prepare for the performance of a lifetime.

Following their 2019 appearance on America’s Got Talent, it’s a pivotal time for the choir and its director, Anthony White, as he’s faced with the combined challenges of replacing several key members, keeping the choir relevant in Detroit, and finding the next big opportunity that will put them back in the national spotlight.
Choir is available on Disney+, starting January 31.

00:00 This is it. Like I've heard multiple people tell me that DYC is their family.
00:06 And I know sometimes in our own sections or even in the whole choir you can be like,
00:11 "Oh, well my clique's not here today. I don't got nobody to talk to."
00:15 When in reality you can just say like, "Hey, can I get a hug?" without explaining your whole story
00:19 because sometimes all you need is a hug. You might not want to talk about it.
00:23 And I feel like if I tell people my story, they're going to treat me differently.
00:28 I don't want you to be my best friend because you feel like you feel sorry for me.
00:32 I want you to be my best friend because you like me for who I am.
00:36 It is really hard, but I really trust everybody in this room with my heart.
00:40 And just, I love y'all so much. Thank you.
00:44 There's a lot of toxicity within our community where you feel like you're not allowed to feel your feelings.
00:53 And I don't want you guys to ever feel like you're not allowed to say what you need to say
00:59 or talk to somebody or cry or whatever.
01:01 Who we are is our emotions and without your emotions or your feelings or letting people know how you feel,
01:07 you're just a husk. And I feel like you have to feel what you feel.
01:12 And you have to be able to tap in with yourself and be comfortable with yourself
01:16 and be comfortable with your feelings. All of that is human.
01:19 You being a man has nothing to do with you being sad about something or you just lost somebody.
01:27 And you...
