Hailed as “one of the greatest concert films of all time,” the electrifying musical hit of the year returns to our big screen for a limited time. This long-shelved time capsule from Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack captures the emotional power and transcendent voice of Aretha Franklin as she records her bestselling live gospel album at Los Angeles’ New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in 1972. Aretha’s performance—which includes a stunning rendition of “Amazing Grace”—is electrifying, and will move you to tears.
