Tells the story of the multi-racial, all women's jazz band of the 1940s, which featured some of the best female musicians of the day. Although they were stars at theaters and clubs around the country, as a racially integrated band in the South the Sweethears traveled, ate and slept in a bus because segregation laws prevented them from using restaurants and hotels. Interviews with surviving members of the band are interwoven with archival footage and photos, and musical performances.
