In 1972, Aretha Franklin arrived at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles to record an album of the gospel music she’d heard— and sung—as a girl growing up in her father’s church in Detroit. A film crew directed by Sydney Pollack was on hand to document the making of what would go on to become her biggest-selling album. But technical problems relating to the synching of sound meant the film was never completed. Until now.
