Amazing Grace
A documentary six years in the making, Amazing Grace ventures into the phenomenon that is Jeff Buckley. Jeff Buckley was signed by Columbia Records where they hoped he would become their next Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen...
Buckley seemed on his way to fulfilling that promise with Grace, the only finished full-length studio album of his career. Critics raved and his fan base grew, but as he was set to record his second studio album, a tragic accident ended Buckley's life. He was 30 years old. Impossible to classify, Jeff Buckley's four-octave voice and songs of unchecked passion and pain traverse the worlds of rock, soul, blues, gospel, folk, and torch. In this passionately crafted documentary, the filmmakers set out to investigate the rather unusual, if not extraordinary, phenomenon of Jeff Buckley
