Could you please say a word or two about it, so I can decide whether to watch or not? Thank you.
It's a very talented girl singing The Green Fields of France.

It's a young girl on stage singing to the grave of a WWI soldier. It's beautiful and moving. You should watch it.

Eric Bogle, who wrote and sung the original, also called "No man's land' Is an Australian Scot. Born and raised in Glasgow with strong Ayrshire roots (his brother was an elder in the Kirk at Cumnock, his niece lives three hundred yards from me), he's an acclaimed folk singer. His other 'classic' is the superb "And the band played Waltzing Matilda" - a haunting tribute to those who returned from the ANZAC expedition to the Dardanelles
