Description: Millions know their voices,
but no one knows their names. In his compelling new film TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM, award-winning
director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the
backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century.
Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, the film is both a tribute to
the unsung voices who brought shape and style to popular music and a reflection
on the conflicts, sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with
others.
