The remarkable true story about the Queen of Soul and her journey to find her voice as a young girl through to becoming an international singing sensation.

Jennifer Hudson (who was hand-picked for the role by Franklin herself), portrays Aretha’s remarkable life across the turbulent social and political landscape of 1960s America as she navigated her way to the world stage.

With a stunning supporting cast including Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Mary J. Blige, Marlon Wayans and four-time Emmy nominee Tituss Burgess, Respect depicts a musical legend who demands exactly that – plenty of respect.
