"Music was still so alive in her." Gravitas Ventures has released the official trailer for a documentary titled Miss Angela, telling the incredible true story of Angela Alvarez. This hasn't premiered at any festivals, but it looks like it's worth a watch anyway. From directors Paul Toogood & Lloyd Stanton (Dying Laughing), their film Miss Angela tells the remarkable story of 91 year old Cuban-American singer-songwriter Angela Alvarez, who's lifetime of songs were nearly lost to the world. An inspiring tale of love, loss, struggle but ultimately triumph, Miss Angela is a story 75 years in the making. Growing up in Cuba, she was forbidden to sing. It wasn't until decades later, after raising a family in the United States, that she finally got a chance to sing on stage, culminating in a concert at the historic Avalon in Hollywood, hosted by Oscar winner Andy Garcia. She is "a stunning example of overcoming adversity, defying the odds, and pursuing the American Dream." Much more than just another story of a talented singer, this is about an entire life of perseverance. ›››
