PRAISE THIS Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Sometimes the music can lift you higher than you've ever been. Five-time Grammy nominee Chloe Bailey (star of Grown-ish and half of the sibling musical duo Chloe x Halle) stars in a new cinematic musical event set in the world of Atlanta's competitive gospel youth choir praise teams.
From director Tina Gordon (writer-director of Little and the writer of What Men Want and Drumline), PRAISE THIS follows aspiring musical superstar Sam (Chloe Bailey), a young woman driven, at almost any cost, to break into the music business. So, when her father (Philip Fornah), worried that Sam is associating with a dangerous crowd, moves them from Los Angeles to Atlanta to live with Sam's sunny cousin, Jess (Anjelika Washington), Sam is... not happy. But when Sam is forced to join her cousin's struggling, underdog praise team in the lead-up to a national championship competition, she sees an opportunity to finally make her dreams come true. What she discovers, though, is that ambition can command a high price and that praise is not about glory, but gratitude.
