Den virkelige verdens kor endte i 2011 med at ligge nummer 1 i England med 500.000 solgte singler inden for en uge, og har efterfølgende udgivet adskillige album. I dag er der over 70 militærkor på tværs af Storbritannien samt på engelske baser ude i verden. Filmen er instrueret af Peter Cattaneo, der tidlige har stået bag ’The Full Monty’, og får dansk biografpremiere den 8. april. "
