Love to Love You, Donna Summer is directed by Oscar and Emmy-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams and Brooklyn Sudano, daughter of Donna Summer. This exceptional documentary is shaped by Summer’s own reflections, the memories of close family, friends, and colleagues, and filled with the sounds of Summer’s songs. Love to Love You, Donna Summer is an in-depth look at the iconic artist as she creates music that takes her from the avant-garde music scene in Germany to the glitter and bright lights of dance clubs in New York, and ultimately to worldwide acclaim, her voice and artistry becoming the defining soundtrack of an era.
A deeply personal portrait of Summer on and off the stage, the film features a wealth of photographs and never-before-seen home video footage—often shot by Summer herself—and provides a rich window into the surprising range of her artistry, from songwriting to painting, while exploring the highs and lows of a life lived on the global stage.
