Director Baljit Sangra and documentary subject and Judi Singh's daughter Emily Hughes will be in attendance at the September 19 screening.

Filmmaker Baljit Sangra delivers a stylish, intimate portrait of Edmonton’s own starlet, highlighting a woman whose remarkable story has been long overlooked.

Originally from Edmonton, gifted jazz singer Judi Singh defied expectations as a Black-Punjabi artist stepping onto the stage in the late 1950s. Though her ethereal voice captivated musicians and niche audiences, the music industry failed to give her the recognition she deserved—an all-too-familiar story for women and artists of colour. In this lively and deeply felt portrait, Singh’s daughter Emily Hughes and director Baljit Sangra retrace Singh’s life and music through archival recordings, intimate recollections, and the bohemian spaces she once inhabited. Weaving together moments of brilliance, struggle, and resilience, the film reintroduces a forgotten artist to the spotlight she always deserved.
