MISS SHARON JONES! Feature Documentary

Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple trains her lens on the soulful chanteuse Sharon Jones and her band, the Dap-Kings. For years, Jones struggled to be heard in the music industry, but just as she finally received the recognition she deserved, she also received a cancer diagnosis. Kopple’s moving and illuminating film follows the brilliant and resilient singer and her yearlong fight to regain her health and record a new album with her band. — Mimi Brody
