Wiki.

Mama, I Want to Sing! is a 2012 musical drama film written and directed by Charles Randolph-Wright, an adaptation of the 1983 off-Broadway gospel stage musical of the same name written and produced by Vy Higginsen and Ken Wydro. It was the final film produced by Fox Faith prior to its dissolving.

The film is based on the life story of Higginson's sister, Doris Troy, a preacher's daughter who sang in a church choir before being discovered by James Brown. Troy's niece, Knoelle, who played the lead role in the off-Broadway production, makes her film debut.

Reportedly completed in June 2009, an official trailer released in September 2009. The film was set to premiere in New York City that month, but was canceled due to technical issues. Following several planned and canceled dates, Mama, I Want to Sing! was finally released straight-to-DVD on February 14, 2012.
