Sharon Jones is a powerful, inspiring and entertaining legendary R&B queen whose wonder is a force to behold  both on and off stage.  And now you can be one of the first persons to see her documentary: Miss Sharon Jones!

Two-time Academy Award winner Barbara Kopple (Harlan  County, USA) shines a spotlight on Sharon Jones who was always told she was never good enough (“you’re too black, too short, too old”);Sharon finally broke-through as a renowned soul singer being hailed as a modern-day female James Brown. The film shows as she  prepares for her most important tour, Sharon comes face-to-face with the most difficult adversity of her life: a diagnosis with cancer.

Follow this tour de force  over the course of an eventful year as she struggles to hold her band The Dap Kings  together while battling her diagnosis with an unstoppable determination to come out  triumphantly as a true soul survivor.
