Introduction to DAAC
![]()
The Danish American
Athletic Club
(DAAC) was founded by a group of Danish immigrants in 1922 and is patterned after similar organizations in Denmark.
The objectives for which the DAAC is originally formed is to act as a center for preserving and uphold Danish
culture in America through maintaining classes in the Danish language, gymnastics, folk dance and other cultural
subjects as required or needed for the purpose of strengthening the bonds between residents of Danish descent in America.
The objective is also to further expand the cultural relations with other Scandinavian ethnic groups in the United States
and to act as a source of information in academic studies of the cultural impact of Danish immigration to the United
States of America. Any person interested in the "objectives" of the DAAC are eligible for membership, but must
be sponsored by a member in good standing.

Storyline
A Baptist preacher from Harlem gets stranded in a provincial Danish town, after a bus accident involving his touring gospel choir. Alone amidst suspicious Danes, he teaches the local church choir to sing gospel music and touches the life of one bored housewife in particular.
Review
Movies should make you feel something...this film delivers. Gospel music can be life changing...and in Hannah's case, it was. You will fall in love with the characters as they fell in love with each other. At times, a bit unrealistic, but, hey, it's a film of fiction. On the other hand, that gospel music gets us every time. |
