Stormy Weather: The Lena Horne Project

“James Gavin’s Stormy Weather” is a “living, breathing, biography” that combines story, song and images from James Gavin’s wealth of material to give us a defining portrait of singer and civil rights activist Lena Horne. From her Cotton Club glory days and the back lots of Hollywood studios to the glitzy but bigoted resorts of Las Vegas, this behind-the scenes look at an American icon is as much a story of American dream limitations as it is a masterful, ground-breaking biography.
