One of the most beloved of all music documentaries, the exhilarating Say Amen, Somebody is part concert film and part celebration of American gospel music, with some of the luminaries of the form, including Willie Mae Ford Smith, Thomas Dorsey, the Barrett Sisters, the O’Neal Twins and more. We learn firsthand about the early days of Gospel, its development, the real challenges that faced its founders, and we experience the uplifting power of the music. "Say Amen, Somebody is one of the most joyful movies I’ve ever seen,” wrote film critic Roger Ebert. “It is also one of the best musicals and one of the most interesting documentaries. And it’s a terrific good time.”
