The singer’s gospel film,<br /> Amazing Grace, will <br />finally hit the big screen. Sabrina Owens, Franklin’s niece and executor of her estate, believes the film is a necessity. Sabrina Owens, via 'The New York Times' The film will premiere at <br />DOC NYC on November 12. The film originally couldn't be <br />released because the audio <br />and film were not in sync. Alan Elliott, one of the producers, gained the rights to the film in 2007 and was able to match the audio and footage, making the film ready for release once again. Franklin sued him in 2011 <br />for planning to release it <br />without her permission. The late soul singer’s <br />estate is now fully <br />backing the release <br />of the film.
