Song Sung Blue is the alternately inspiring and tragic love story of Lightning & Thunder, a homegrown Milwaukee husband & wife singing duo who pay tribute to the music of Neil Diamond. For Mike and Claire Sardina (aka: Lightning & Thunder), dreams are the fuel and music the engine of life. Song Sung Blue goes behind the curtain with this brave couple - from their humble beginnings over 20 years ago…to the threshold of fame; from disaster…to rebirth; this is the story of two authentic American dreamers.

A crowd-pleasing award winner almost everywhere it’s played, Song Sung Blue comes to EIFF riding a wave of acclaim, and ready to convert the rest of us to the irresistible charm of ‘Lightning and Thunder’! Curated by guest programmer, Jerry Krepakevich, this was one of his favorites from the 2008 Hot Docs Film Festival.
