This Black History Month, the Connaught proudly presents Black Icons of Cinema - a special season celebrating groundbreaking Black filmmakers. Join us this October to experience trailblazing talent and timeless stories on the big screen. There'll be something for everyone.

About the film
Whoopi Goldberg stars as a nightclub singer who is forced to take refuge from the mob in a convent. She ends up turning the convent choir into a soulful chorus complete with a Motown repertoire, until the sudden celebrity of the choir jeopardizes her identity.
