TVNZ: Close Up (4 May 2012)
We shouldn't underestimate the healing power of song. In Christchurch a choir has even been established for stroke victims and people with brain injuries. Those conditions often affect the ability to talk and singing can help rewire the brain. Alexi O'Brien has been following the choir's progress.
