ONE VOICE:
The Story of the Oakland
Interfaith Gospel Choir
Year: 2018 | Run time: 61 min
As a country challenges a cycle of division and exclusion, a choir sings with one voice, defining diversity in profound ways and using the tradition of Black gospel music to unify.
One Voice delves into the lives of Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir members and artistic director Terrance Kelly. This film illuminates a group of people from diverse faiths, races, genders, socioeconomic backgrounds, and lifestyles, all with a common goal: to bring joy and inspiration to the stage through black gospel music. By coming from a place of inclusion and acceptance, choir members are able to bridge their differences, embracing the celebrations and challenges that arise along the way.
