Synopsis by Mark Deming
On his 1993 debut album, Kirk Franklin combined contemporary R&B and hip-hop flavors with the sound and message of classic gospel music, creating a sensation which revolutionized the modern gospel scene. Working with three different groups -- Kirk Franklin and the Family, Nu Nation, and God's Property -- Franklin helped to revitalize gospel music while staying true to its original spiritual message, Journeys in Black: Kirk Franklin is a documentary produced for the BET cable network in which Franklin discusses his career, music, and faith.
