'Roberta' Documentary

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 17, 2022

The new documentary "Roberta" provides a portrait of the life and career of the celebrated vocalist Roberta Flack, who just this week revealed she had been diagnosed with ALS, making it difficult for her to speak or sing. Director Antonino D’Ambrosio joins us to discuss the film and artist. "Roberta" will have its world premiere at DOC NYC tonight (Thursday, November 17) at 7:30 PM, and become available to screen online tomorrow.
