Why we chose it

Christopher Nelius found a world of people who treat whistling as a competitive sport, and although their contest might look odd from the outside, he never once makes a joke at their expense. The result is warm and surprisingly gripping, the story of a niche community you’ll end up rooting for.

Synopsis

Once a year, people from all over the world who can whistle a tune descend on Hollywood for a contest founded by Carole Anne Kaufman. Most of them are amateurs. There are rehearsals and performances, and plenty of time spent listening to the competition. There’s no prize money, but every one of them wants to win.
