In the 1960s three sisters, Sparkle (played by Jordin Sparks), Sister (played by Carmen Ejogo) and Dolores (played by Tika Sumpter), follow their dream of singing by forming a girl group that soon gets local recognition. However, their mother, Emma (played by Whitney Houston), doesn't buy their intangible aspirations and does everything to dissuade them from the not-so-glamorous life of superstardom.
Will fame take these sisters up or take them out? Watch the BET Premiere Cinema film Sparkle on Saturday, August 16 at 10P/9C.
