Sweet Honey In The Rock sing almost totally unaccompanied aside from hand claps, covering jazz, blues and gospel music that blends historical sources with contemporary lyrical concerns. Though led by Bernice Johnson Reagon, the group has at various times included contributions from up to 20 other African-American women. SINGING FOR FREEDOM captures the band performing live at San Francisco`s Glide Memorial Church, and includes interviews with Reagon and several children from the audience. Viewers will witness the crowd come to life as Sweet Honey performs an uplifting 11-song set featuring inspiring tracks like
We Shall Not be Moved,
This Little Light of Mine,
and
We Shall Overcome.
