Tina Turner was a girl from the cotton fields of Nutbush who grew up to sell over one hundred million records. She spent years fighting to find her own voice.
After leaving a dark past with only thirty six cents in her pocket, she became the oldest woman to hit number one on the charts at age forty four. This incredible journey from pain to power is the heartbeat of the official musical trailer.
