Love to Love You, Donna Summer (2023)

Genre : Documentary, Music

Runtime : 1H 44M

Director : Roger Ross Williams, Brooklyn Sudano

Synopsis

The extraordinary story of disco queen Donna Summer through a rich archive of unpublished film excerpts, home video, photographs, artwork, writings, personal audio and other recordings that span the life of one of the most iconic performers ever to shake a room to its timbers. From her early career with Giorgio Moroder in Germany, to later years more focused on spirituality and family life as a shelter from troubles associated with both notoriety and intimate wounds, her story is all the more special for being told in the first person – both singular and plural.
