Amazing Grace

About the movie

In 1972, soul singer Aretha Franklin was at the height of her fame when she decided to go back to her roots of gospel music. Together with a gospel choir, she recorded her legendary album “Amazing Grace” in a church. Nearly 50 years later it has finally been restored to a soulful visual experience.
The live album became one of the most successful gospel records of all time and included songs like “How I Got Over”, “Precious Memories” and an 11-minute rendition of “Amazing Grace”. The concert film has been praised as a treasure of a time-capsule and leaves everyone’s spirits moved through the powerful voice of the iconic artist.
