Abbey Lincoln is much more than a jazz singer, she's also an original composer and an exceptional poet. In this documentary, she reveals the secret spring of a lifetime: struggle. After refusing to be a Hollywood star, being censored, and a twenty-year period of oblivion, she records her 17th album at the age of 68, and says she's enjoying “the best time of her life”.
