Why watch this film?

Without a doubt, Aretha Franklin was one of the great names of American music and even worldwide, traversing between musical genres such as Soul, R&B, pop, gospel and dance - not to mention her importance in the fight for civil rights for blacks. That is why it is a true gift to find something still unpublished by the singer, and that is exactly what we have in 'Amazing Grace'. The film is the record of an Aretha show held in 1972, when she recorded the album 'Amazing Grace'. Originally directed by Sydney Pollack (from 'Tootsie' and 'Absence of Malice'), the concert was not released at the time due to audio synchronization problems with the images. This was only recently resolved, resulting in a historically impeccable and musically impeccable account of the star, who died in 2018 at the age of 76.
