Videos » Abbey Lincoln - The Music is the Magic(a film preview)

Uploader describes this video as:
"Fueled by a fierce integrity and idiosyncratic style on and off the stage, Abbey Lincoln has always gone her own way. This ninety-minute documentary feature film presents Ms.Lincoln's life and work; from her beginnings as a Hollywood Glamour girl to actor and civil rights activist to her present standing as one of the most gifted and original singers and composers of our time.

Produced and directed by photographer Carol Friedman, the film was shot on 16mm in black & white and color over a period of nineteen years. Now in post production, this film project seeks cineaste angels to help us with our completion funds. We hope to release the film in Summer, 2011."
