Press Quotes
'Say Amen, Somebody' is the most joyful movie I've seen in a very long time. It is also one of the best musicals and one of the most interesting documentaries. And it's also a terrific good time. The music in 'Say Amen, Somebody' is as exciting and uplifting as any music I've ever heard
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Tiimes
Treat yourself to this engaging, gospel-infused documentary tribute to the African-American men and women who first began combining the heart and soul of Negro spirituals with the infectious rhythms of jazz and blues
—Steven D. Greydanus , Faith On Film
