Summer Music Season
Amazing Grace
A revelatory concert film of Aretha Franklin performing gospel songs in LA in 1972.
Director: Sydney Pollack
Cast includes: Aretha Franklin
87 Mins / 2018 / USA
Amazing Grace is two days of Baptist church condensed to 90 minutes and injected directly into your soul. Shot in 1972 over a 48-hour period in Watts’ New Temple Missionary Baptist Church, this stirring document captured the live recording of the most successful gospel album in history, Aretha Franklin’s Amazing Grace. At the height of her powers, with 11 number one singles and five Grammys to her credit, she returned to the environment and the music that honed her voice and nurtured her soul. The result became her biggest seller, earning a Grammy and quite possibly more than a few conversions.
