Outdoor Movie, Friday, August 30 • Amazing Grace, Aretha Franklin


It's the 1972 recording of Aretha Franklin singing gospel in Watts, Los Angeles.

According to Rolling Stone, this movie is "the closest thing to witnessing a miracle — just some cameras, a crowd and a voice touched by God."  Here's the trailer.  The audio recording became the bestselling gospel album of all time, but the film was lost to history until digital restoration made it possible to release it last year.

Starting at 8 pm, outdoors at the corner of Grand & Main.  Presented by Community Health Center.

Free Movie!  Free Popcorn!  Bring your family, blankets & chairs and enjoy the last weekend of summer!
