Palm Pictures has acquired helmers Paul Taylor and Teddy Leifer's "We Are Together," a documentary about a choir of children in a South African orphanage ravaged by AIDS.

Palm, which has North American and DVD rights, will work alongside international distrib ro*co films, which originally acquired the doc and sold it to Palm. HBO, a co-producer on the project as HBO Documentary Films, has TV rights.

"Teddy and Paul made the film after Paul spent quite a long time volunteering in the Agape orphanage (where the film is set). I think he had just finished film school and needed a break," explains ro*co's Annie Roney. Instead, Taylor discovered the subject of "Together," a 12-year-old AIDS orphan named Slindile Moya, and her family.
