Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia

From the late '40s through the balance of her life, her blues-inflected vocal stylings powerfully lifted gospel music onto the charts and into the churches. Danielle Brooks delivers a remarkable performance as the legendary Mahalia Jackson, from her early career struggles and determination to stay with the gospel form, through her breakout success and her contributions to the burgeoning civil rights movement; Joaquina Kalukango, Jamall Johnson, Rob Demery, Jim Thorburn also star. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
