A documentary presenting the live recording of Aretha Franklin’s album Amazing Grace at The New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Watts, Los Angeles in January 1972.

When Aretha Franklin was planning her album, Warner Brothers agreed to film the session in 1972. Recorded live at Rev James Cleveland’s church in Watts, California, in front of a lively audience and congregation, “Amazing Grace” would become the highest selling album of Franklin’s career and the most popular Gospel album of all time.

Forty-seven years later, this film is a testimony to the greatness of Aretha Franklin and a time machine window into a moment in American musical and social history.
