2014 Academy Awards Winner - BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. In his compelling new film TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM,
award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold
true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical
legends of the 21st century. Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal
measure, the film is both a tribute to the unsung voices who brought
shape and style to popular music and a reflection on the conflicts,
sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with others.
These gifted artists span a range of styles, genres and eras of
popular music, but each has a uniquely fascinating and personal story to
share of life spent in the shadows of superstardom. Along with rare
archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM
boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick
Jagger and Sting to name just a few. However, these world-famous
figures take a backseat to the diverse array of backup singers whose
lives and stories take center stage in the film.
