Irma: My Life in Music features Irma Thomas out of the limelight, as archival photographs, film segments, and interviews collectively share the life story of Irma Thomas.

In this documentary, Thomas tells her own life story. Influential figures in Thomas’s life including Scott Billington, Ken Ehrlich, Ledisi, and Bonnie Raitt speak on the moments they’ve shared with Irma, challenges they’ve overcome together, and what collaborations to come may look like.
