The production tells the story of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s journey to discovering some of the most famous and beloved music artists of all time, depicting the personal relationships and hurdles he faced along the way.

 

In 1983, Gordy reminisces on the 25 years of Motown that have passed since he borrowed $800 from his family and set out to break barriers to produce a sound like none other. His memory whisks us away and thus begins an extravaganza of over 50 hits from the likes of Diana Ross, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Lionel Richie, all set against the backdrop of a pivotal time in American history.
