The untold and ultimately inspiring story of legendary singer Teddy Pendergrass.
The unforgettable voice of hits Don't Leave Me This Way, If You Don't Know Me By Now and Close the Door, Teddy was the first male African American artist to record five consecutive platinum albums in the US, but his career was struck by tragedy in 1982 when a car accident left him paralysed at the age of just 31.
He would then later make a triumphant and emotional comeback in front of a global audience of 1.9 billion at Live Aid in 1985.
See this incredible documentary featuring rarely seen archive footage and a soulful soundtrack, against the complex backdrop of 1960s America.
