Aretha Franklin Documentary "Amazing Grace" pulled

Aretha Franklin Documentary "Amazing Grace" pulled magazine cover

If waiting for the long overdue Aretha Franklin documentary "Amazing Grace" you may have to wait just that little bit longer as Variety is reporting the below...

 

The Toronto Film Festival has pulled “Amazing Grace” after the Aretha Franklin documentary became the subject of a legal dispute.

In a statement, the festival said the film’s producers made the decision not to show the picture about the “Respect” singer.

“We are extremely disappointed that Toronto audiences will not be able to see this extraordinary piece of art,” the festival said in a statement. “The footage in the film is truly a cinematic treasure of 20th century music and we hope global audiences will have opportunity to experience this film once a resolution is found.”

Jon D. Cantor, an attorney for the singer, said a screening at the Chicago Film Festival in October has also been canceled.

Apparently the Toronto Film Festival Showing is being replaced by the showing of a film that you may have heard of before....  "Northern Soul"

I'd love to see it too. I've never heard of this alleged scandal before. It's fascinating but I don't know whether to believe it. The youtube video reads like a vengeance attack

I don't really get the reasoning behind posting rumours and what appears to be conspiracy type videos

I have asked the member to sort the above post out but no joy so have dropped the video embed 

the bottom line if you need to post  allegedly  in any post then its more than likely not worth posting

 

see the member has now deleted the post completely
