In Wade in the Water, see how this bond of friendship and song helped Debi Candlish battle Breast Cancer. Wade in the Water is the story of two journeys. One journey follows the members of South of the River Gospel Choir through the finals of the ABC Classic FM national choir competition in 2006. The other story is one of determination and hope as the choir’s founder, Debi Candlish, reflects on her diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Debi started a choir in 2002 to feel the spirit and share the joy she had once experienced at a Southern Gospel meeting in the USA.
