A struggling Aborginal widow is determined to make her 4 bi-racial daughters into a huge international girl band to guarantee they’ll never see poverty again.

If she is a 'stage mum', describe her as such - perhaps a failed performer in her own right. Otherwise, she comes across as silly, and the premise makes little sense.

Beg to differ.? In real life, there are stage moms (and dads) who see a particular talent in their kids as tickets out of poverty,. ? They exist not only in entertainment but also in professional sports.? Sure the odds are long, but the? pay off can be so high that taking a chance is irresistible. (Just like tens of millions play the lottery every week despite the odds.)
