GFF: Miss Sharon Jones!

‘Now, ladies and gentleman, the star of our show – the super soul sister with the magnetic je ne sais quoi – Miss Sharon Jones!’
This crowd-pleasing documentary from two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple (Harlan County U.S.A, Shut Up & Sing) offers an exhilarating glimpse into the life and times of incendiary soul singer and one-of-a-kind performer Sharon Jones. The film catches Jones at a troubled time, with a cancer diagnosis threatening her life and her band, the Dap-Kings. However, her spirit shines through as she works towards her Grammy-award winning 2014 album. A rousing film about life, death and soul.
