Summary |
*Coarse Language*Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. In his compelling film, 20 Feet from Stardom, award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century.Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, the film is both a tribute to the unsung voices who brought shape and style to popular music, and a reflection on the conflicts, sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with others.These gifted artists span a range of styles, genres and eras of popular music, but each has a uniquely fascinating and personal story to share of life spent in the shadows of superstardom.Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, 20 Feet from Stardom boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting, to name just a few. However, these world-famous figures take a backseat to the diverse array of backup singers whose lives and stories take centre stage in the film.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Director - Morgan Neville; Producer - Gil Friesen and Caitrin Rogers |
