The film includes unique performances of her iconic hits Slave To The Rhythm and Pull Up To The Bumper as well as more recent autobiographical tracks, Williams' Blood, This Is and Hurricane.

Clips show Grace's family-oriented private life, on-stage performances including famous hits 'Slave to the Rhythm' and 'Pull Up to the Bumper', studio recordings and interviews with friends and family discussing her fame and unique, creative personality.
