A spirited celebration of 83-year-old Lena Mae Perry and her legendary North Carolina gospel group The Branchettes. The film documents The Branchettes as they record their first, fully live album. Through shared prayer, laughter, hardship and praise, this “church gospel noisy crew” demonstrates that music, like faith, ain’t nothing without some fire inside.
The New York Times“A plain-spoken tribute. Packs in a lot of spirited music.”
The Hollywood Reporter“The power of gospel comes alive. Engaging. Spiritual. Tender.”
DOC NYC“Bursting with warmth, joy, and soul-stirring gospel music.”
