One of the most acclaimed music documentaries of all time is a joyous, funny, deeply emotional ode to gospel music and African American culture. Featuring the father of gospel, Thomas A. Dorsey; its matron, Willie Mae Ford Smith; and earth-shaking performances by the Barrett Sisters and the O’Neal Twins, SAY AMEN, SOMEBODY is a uniquely uplifting experience made with the same soulfulness and passion as the music it celebrates.
