I'm Every Woman tells the powerful, uplifting story of award-winning, multi-platinum-selling, global superstar and Queen of Funk, Chaka Khan. It charts her rise to stardom, along with her passion for civil rights, her journey through addiction and motherhood, and her defiance in the face of a toxic musical industry. It features some of her most iconic songs, such as I Feel For You, Tell Me Something Good, Ain’t Nobody, Sweet Thing, Higher Love and Through The Fire.
