Reviews
‘Amazing Grace’ is a document and an exhalation to the ecstasy of music, how it can affect the body and soul of those who create it and those who receive it. This raw and beautiful film goes above and beyond the concert film form, offering a window into a time past, a people in need and an artist at the height of her powers. I wanted to stand and applaud, not just for the incredible music or the superb construction, but for the relief of being able to see this footage at all. Thank God we finally can. - Daniel Lammin Read Daniel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-amazing-grace-an-extraordinary-document-on-the-power-of-music
