The community of Logan, Queensland has had it tough, with a high unemployment rate, and racial tensions that have at times come to the boil. But the melting-pot of over 200 ethnic groups is determined to turn things around.Drawing from the community's immense pool of diverse talent, Queensland Music Festival (QMF), in partnership with Logan City Council, set the ambitious task of staging a live musical named 'Under This Sky', created by the community, for the community - in front of a crowd of thousands.This inspiring documentary follows locals as they work through the drama, pitfalls and excitement of putting on the gig of their lives, led by jazz legend and 2015 QMF Artistic Director James Morrison and Creative Director Sean Mee.It delves into the individuals' sometimes heartbreaking stories to reveal resilience, determination and the power of a shared goal in bringing diverse people together. The Logan Project is a moving original documentary charting the journey of Logan's aspiring singers and musicians to create a new, positive narrative for their city.
