HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song is a definitive exploration of
singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his
internationally renowned hymn, “Hallelujah.” This feature-length
documentary weaves together three creative strands: The songwriter and his
times; the song’s dramatic journey from record label reject to
chart-topping hit, and moving testimonies from major recording artists for
whom “Hallelujah” has become a personal touchstone. Approved for production
by Leonard Cohen just before his 80th birthday in 2014, the film accesses a
wealth of never-before-seen archival materials from the Cohen Trust
including Cohen’s personal notebooks, journals and photographs, performance
footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and interviews.
