The 72-year-old singer testified via speakerphone from Detroit and said she’s fought for years to prevent the screening of the movie, titled “Amazing Grace,” about her concert in Los Angeles.
She said she was aghast to discover Wednesday that the festival announced it would show the movie three times.
