The true story of Marion Williams, an American gospel icon whose charismatic sound and unique “wailing” vocal technique earned her international fame. Marion’s powerful voice influenced many recording artists including Aretha Franklin and many others. Among her many accomplishments, she received the Kennedy Center honors in 1993 but sadly, suffered a tragic end.
In 1986, abortion was banned in Romania and many women had to undergo abortions under inhumane conditions for various reasons. This gripping film exposes how freedom can be neutered through a series of strict laws and
terrifying surveillance.
