Miss Sharon Jones! Back at the Movies, The Cancer Edition

Sharon Jones was the electrifying front-woman for the NYC band, The Dap-Kings. She captivated audiences with her raw energy and talent. A diagnosis of cancer derailed her career but didn't deter her. Tina & Leah talk about the film and the shared challenges of those who see their world upended by cancer and its treatment. 

The film was directed by Academy Award-winning director, Barbara Kopple and is available to stream online.
