"Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive is, without question, a story of redemption, of rising up after downfall."
Dr. Lippi Roy, Forbes
“The documentary is a sublime take on the 79-year-old artist’s comeback journey... The film and Gaynor share themes of owning who you are and love, maintaining perseverance and inclusivity, and breaking down barriers for other Black and female artists.”
Can Zhang, Billboard
"Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive is... an inviting battle cry about the power of survival against the odds, reminding people that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself.
Greg Archer, Movieweb
Follow the story of a disco legend who inspired millions with her words I WILL SURVIVE, but only understood the lyrics when she hit rock bottom at age 65. The film follows Gloria as she embarks on a long and unexpectedly difficult journey, wielding her inner drive to change the course of her life. An incredible journey about reinvention and a magnificent second act.
