The daughter of a church organist, Roberta Flack was a classically trained piano teacher and accompanist before she became a soul sensation with worldwide hits like First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Killing Me Softly - for which she won two back-to-back Grammys.

Chronicling her life and career, director Antonino D’Ambrosio gets to the heart and soul of Roberta Flack, drawing upon interviews with contemporaries from Jesse Jackson to Angela Davis and with Roberta herself.

The film is a journey of discovery, a trip down memory lane and a timely testament to the enduring influence of Roberta Flack.
