Remember Me is a poignant look into the life and rise of the Queen of Gospel Mahalia Jackson (Ledisi). Set in New Orleans, Louisiana, this provocative story explores the tumultuous relationship Mahalia shared with her mother's sister "Aunt Duke" (Janet Hubert) legally named “Mahala” who was Mahalia’s namesake, after her mother Charity unexpectedly passes away. Mahalia used those broken years to lean on her faith and her unshakable bond with God as a catalyst to inspire the world. Remember Me explores Mahalia’s unbreakable relationship with "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." (Columbus Short) and her integral role in the Civil rights movement. Remember Me brings Mahalia's fight for freedom into the spotlight while depicting Mahalia's own personal search for love.
