THE FILM

“Can You Hear My Voice?” follows the one-of-a-kind Shout at Cancer choir, whose members have all had their voice boxes removed, as they prepare for their most ambitious concert - a sold-out performance at London’s historic Tabernacle theater. The film includes energetic performances of songs popularized by Nina Simone, Tears for Fears, and Louis Armstrong, all backed by the stellar Peter Edwards Jazz Trio and a saxophone quartet. Along the way, choir members’ cancer stories unfold, revealing their struggles with self-identity and loss encountered on the road to survivorship. Far from maudlin, “Can You Hear My Voice?” triumphantly illuminates the human capacity for resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity.

The film is produced and directed by Bill Brummel (Peabody Award, 2-time International Documentary Association Award winner, and 5-time Emmy Award nominee). It’s Brummel’s first film since having his own voice box removed in 2016.
