What Mavis! Is About
The documentary is about the life and the music of the singer and civil rights activist Mavis Staples. The Staple Singers, the group she formed with her family, carried gospel and the struggle for equal rights onto the same stage in the sixties, and the songs sung in churches and on marches went on to reach the charts. The film follows that road through archive footage and through what Mavis says herself, with Bob Dylan among those who speak. That she has kept performing over all these years and works with younger musicians is part of the account too. Jessica Edwards’s eighty minute American documentary was completed in 2015.
