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.
