About this movie

In this electrifying musical drama starring R&B sensation Ciara and Hollywood favorite Lynn Whitfield (The Josephine Baker Story), Ciara plays Amara Winter, a beautiful and divinely talented young gospel singer on the verge of pop stardom. But Amara's mother Lillian (Whitfield), a strong-willed TV preacher, disapproves of her daughter's less-than-pious image. As they search for common ground, mother and daughter may just discover their journeys aren't so different after all. Based on the award-winning off-Broadway musical and featuring R&B legend Patti LaBelle, this joyful celebration of faith and family will put a song in your heart!

Ratings and reviews

The preview shows just the cast members name. Weak preview. The ONLY person worth seeing or hearing in this musical is the GREAT Ms. PATTY LaBelle.

Not worth paying for. Ciara was only used to hype the movie. But it was a low budget movie overall. Ok storyline nothing new.

I don't care about that the movie was awesome to me so if caira. big the movie up it still was a good movie to me other ppl see things differently ppl are interested in the movie
