Synopsis:
Aging and severely overweight, legendary stage and film star Ethel Waters is faced with a waning career and the prospect of an impoverished old age, when, a dream of a childhood spiritual awakening opens her to a new future with the Billy Graham Crusade. Ethel Waters grew up in poverty and squalor in a section of Philadelphia called Whores Alley and later began a career in entertainment that spanned nearly 60 years throughout the depression era, Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s; and at the beginning of the television era. Sweet Mama Stringbean shows two Ethels: a wild and adventurous skinny woman able to introduce songs like 'Sweet Georgia Brown', 'Dinah', 'Am I Blue', and 'Stormy Weather'; and the older 275-pound spiritual Broadway dramatic actress who starred in 'Mambas Daughter' and 'Member of the Wedding', as well as defining her life through the song 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow'
