ABOUT GLORIA GAYNOR: I WILL SURVIVE: <\/strong>
Gloria Gaynor, music icon and disco legend, inspired millions for decades with her words \u201cI will survive.\u201d But she only truly understood the profound meaning of her lyrics when she hit rock bottom at the age of 65. Facing a devastating divorce to her husband and manager of 25 years, financial ruin, and spiraling health concerns, Gaynor sought to not only survive, but thrive. With unwavering faith and the spark of new dreams, the film follows Gaynor as she embarks on an unexpectedly difficult 8-year journey to write and record a gospel album, rising up after downfall. Going behind the mic, we discover a tale of the remarkable challenges that fueled Gaynor\u2019s music and path to stardom, and her present-day message empowering audiences to believe it\u2019s never too late to transform dreams into reality. “Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive” celebrates reinvention, the power of faith, and a magnificent second act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
