A religious film experience! The film is based on Sydney pollacks unique documentation of a live-recording from 1972, of Aretha Franklin's best-selling gospel record "Amazing Grace" at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles.

The documentary was never completed during Pollack's lifetime, but thanks to the film's producer and co-director Alan Elliott the unique material is now available to the general public, almost fifty years later.

Jazzfilm is supported by the Norwegian Film Institute and Buskerud County Municipality
