Jane Engelmann talks to us about how she formed a choir comprised of women domestic helpers in Hong Kong, The Unsung Heroes. She gives us an insight into the lives of these women and some of the many sacrifices they have made to work as foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong. Many of the women have left friends and family behind in their home countries to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week to support their families. We learn about the creation of their signature song "I Wish I Could Kiss You Goodnight", dedicated to the children that they have left behind. Jane talks about the Unsung Heroes' role in the new documentary film, "The Helper" which gives a voice to Hong Kong's domestic workers and the positive impact that both the film and the choir have made in the lives of these amazing women. A note, dear listener, that parts of this podcast may be distressing for some - abuse is discussed at one point. However, I give you a warning just before this section if you should choose to skip it. Please stay tuned at the end to listen to the full version of "I Wish I Could Kiss You Goodnight".
