Billy Preston: That's the Way God Planned It (2026)
Met zijn kenmerkende gospelgeluid op de Hammond B3 verhief Billy Preston dubbelhandig de grootste artiesten van zijn tijd – van de Beatles tot de Rolling Stones, van Aretha Franklin tot Eric Clapton, van Ray Charles tot Barbra Streisand tot Sly and the Family Stone. In onze film verkennen we Billy's carrière en invloed op generaties muzikanten, terwijl hij zelf verschillende nummer één hits scoorde en een van de meest gewilde muzikanten ter wereld werd. Hij deed dit allemaal als een verdeelde ziel - door zijn diepe wortels in de kerk, in voortdurend conflict met zijn identiteit als homoseksuele zwarte man, op zoek naar een eigen gezin dat hem zou accepteren zoals hij was.
Regiseur: Paris Barclay
