Of the many, many highlights that came out of the global Women's March on Saturday – the banners, the politically-engaged children, the speeches – one that has really left a lasting impression is an a capella song performed by women who had never met before.

Film director Alma Har'el chanced upon the singers at the Washington branch of the march, where Madonna made a controversial speech.
"These women are from different states and never met till today," Har'el wrote in her original post on Sunday. "They practiced this song online. I was crying the whole time I filmed this. Show them some love."
The video of the song, which was composed and arranged by the artist MILCK has now been viewed almost 8 million times.
MILCK organised the #icantkeepquiet choir from a group of 26 women from LA and Washington, including the GW Sirens a cappella group from George Washington University.
MILCK told Buzzfeed that she had originally written the song, Quiet, after Trump's election as part of a way to heal from depression, anorexia and sexual abuse.
“Then I thought it would be really powerful if there was a group of women singing it together,” she said.
