DESCRIPTION:

This is the true story of how this inspiring young single mom used her incredible voice to become an American Idol, as well as a Grammy®-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist. Not only will Fantasia play herself in this New Original Movie with an all-star cast, but she'll sing too. Acclaimed Emmy®- and Golden Globe®-winning choreographer, director and actress Debbie Allen directs this inspiring tale.
