Mississippi Records, in partnership with the Portland Black Film Festival, presents this documentary about the inspiring late in life rise of soul singer Charles Bradley. Working for years as a James Brown imitator, Charles secretly yearned to let the world hear his own compositions and personality. At the age of 62, Charles got his big chance to make it as a musician on his own terms. The film follows Charles as he writes and records his first album - "No Time For Dreaming". (In Mississippi Records opinion, the best album made in the past 40 years)
Charles has a heart of gold and is about as inspiring a subject as a movie can have. If you are feeling old, passed on by or defeated in anyway, just watching Charles go will fill you with hope - guaranteed.
