OPENING NIGHT SCREENING. From humble roots singing in New Jersey church choirs to international super stardom, this sparkling portrait of incomparable recording artist Dionne Warwick traces her six (and counting!) decades in the business as trailblazer, activist and true living legend.

film synopsis

This sparkling portrait of the incomparable Dionne Warwick traces her six (and counting!) decades in the music business as trailblazer and force to be reckoned with. From her humble roots singing in New Jersey church choirs, Warwick quickly found success after winning over the notoriously tough crowd at Harlem’s Apollo Theater in 1957, and later would be responsible for some of the most iconic recordings of all time including “Walk on By,” “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” and “Don’t Make Me Over.” Directors David Heilbroner and Dave Wooley’s star-studded, endlessly enjoyable profile also delves into Warwick’s influential and impassioned activist efforts for the Black and LGBTQ communities, being one of the first celebrities to speak up about the AIDS crisis, and donating all of the proceeds from her 1985 rendition of “That’s What Friends Are For” – over $3 million – to AIDS research. Still as outspoken and tack-sharp as ever, Warwick is a true larger-than-life living legend.
