In 2003, an all-star cast of gospel singers took Bob Dylan's gospel compositions and created a GRAMMY-nominated album. This film features roof-raising performances by these spirited artists while documenting the making of the album of the same name.

Also premiered is the 1980 footage of Bob Dylan performing "When He returns" as the first archival performance released from this important era.
