Ditching School to Whistle - short documentary film by Ien Chi

April 2012 I set out to compete in the International Whistling Competition - and make a documentary about it. This short film explores not only the fascinating people who converge once a year for this quirky event; but also tells the unexpectedly touching stories of people who discovered healing and therapy through what may be dismissed by many as silly: whistling. Fullscreen for best quality.
