Directed by award-winning filmmaker Antonino D'Ambrosio ('Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited', 'Frank Serpico' among others), this is the long overdue documentary about the legendary Roberta Flack. Of course she is well known the world over for 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' and 'Killing Me Softly,' for which she became the first person in history to win two back-to-back Grammy Awards for Best Record (a feat only recently matched by Billie Eilish), but there is so much more to her story and her impact. With full cooperation and support of her record label Warner Music and Roberta Flack herself, this documentary delivers everything you might expect, and thanks to the enthusiastic on-screen presence of other numerous superstars from various fields who know Flack and have been inspired by her work, including Clint Eastwood, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Angela Davis, and Sean Lennon, it is a timely testament to the powerful influence of Roberta Flack on our world, today. The film is a journey of discovery, a trip down memory lane and an urgent call to action.

Magyar
Az egykori futballcsillag John Kent és barátja, Huck Haines, valamint Johnnak a „Wabash Indiaiak” névre hallgató zenekara Párizsba utazik szerencsét próbálni. A fogadtatásuk azonban nem jár sikerrel, mert a zenekar valójában nem indiai zenét ad elő és ezért a potenciális megbízójuk, Voyda nem szerződteti őket. John – természetesen az egész csapattal együtt - Párizsba érkezésekor azonnal meglátogatja az itt élő nagynénjét, Madame Robertát, aki egy elegáns divatház, a Roberta tulajdonosa és melynek alkotói vezetője Stephanie, a nagynéni asszisztense. Itt aztán a véletlen összehozza őket Scharwenka-val, az énekessel, aki nem más, mint Huck régi barátnője, Lizzie és aki munkát szerez a zenekarnak egy éjszakai klubban. Közben, Madame Roberta eltávozik az élők sorából és John-ra hagyja üzletét, aki pedig Stephanie-val társul. A hír hallatára megérkezik John barátnője, Sophie is. Így bőven van lehetőség félreértésekre…

John Kent, in visita a Parigi con il suo amico bandleader, Huck Haines, eredita improvvisamente il negozio di abiti alla moda di sua zia in città. Anche se all'oscuro del mondo della moda, John e Huck ricevono aiuto dalla stilista Stephanie e dalla focosa contessa Scharwenka, che Huck riconosce come la sua dolce metà, Lizzie. Ma quando l'ex altezzosa di John, Sophie, si presenta, deve riconsiderare i suoi nuovi sentimenti per Stephanie.

Pусский
Александр Петрович Москович Войда - русский эмигрант и владелец парижского кафе «Русс» решил удивить своих посетителей пригласив из Америки джаз бэнд. И не простой, а «индейский», как он думал - это будет оркестр краснокожих индейцев в перьях. К сожалению, русского подвело знание языка - и вместо индейцев он выписал бледнолицый диксиленд из штата Индиана «Индианцы из Обыша». Обругав артистов во главе с солистом Хаком Хэйнсом ресторатор, расторгнув контракт, скрылся восвояси. Ребята, решив не сдаваться, поселились у тетушки Джона Кента, звезды американского футбола, который отправился вместе с ними в гастрольный тур. Тетушкой оказывается Монни, которая является владельцем одного из самых престижных ателье женского платья под вывеской «Роберта». Именно в этом ателье произойдут судьбоносные встречи главных героев, которые, пройдя через все испытания и курьёзные ситуации, смогут найти любовь и обрести счастье...

Där träffar han även Stephanie, Robertas medhjälpare.

Frank Serpico summary, synopsis, reviews
Frank SerpicoDocumentary2017

In the early 1970s, one man stood up to the entire New York City police force. Hailed as a hero by many, hated by others, officer Frank Serpico made headlines when he blew the whistle on a culture of bribery and corruption within the department. His one-man crusade for police reform inspired the Al Pacino classic that bears his name, but the real life saga is as gripping as anything Hollywood could dream up. Now, Serpico tells his story in his own words: from his Italian-American roots in Brooklyn to his disillusionment with the NYPD to his riveting account of a dramatic drug bust—and possible set-up—that ended with him being shot in the face. Featuring music by Jack White and interviews with Serpico's associates and admirers—including Luc Sante and John Turturro—this is an inspiring, all-access portrait of a courageous man who refused to betray his ideals.
