Diana Ross and the film on her life

The film contains some never-before-seen footage about her life and career! It also has some exclusive footage of her historical Central Park Concert of 1983.

This concert is the most important event in the music and entertainment industry. Halfway through the event, there was a strong storm which hit the show. But Diana Ross did not halt and continued with her performance until the concert was brought to a standstill.

Diana promised her fans that she would return once the storm settles. And she kept her promise and was back at the Park the next day to complete her left work. Diana Ross spoke of this event:

“I envisioned a dream and that’s what I created over those two days in Central Park. I picked a goal, and then imagined all the details and I believe imagination is magical, that we can think of something and bring it into being.”
