DON’T MAKE ME OVER reveals the intimate stories behind a pioneering artist who took charge of her own career and smashed through cultural, racial and gender barriers to become the soundtrack for generations. The documentary feature brings to life the real Dionne Warwick — the artist behind timeless hits such as What the World Needs Now, Say a Little Prayer and Don’t Make Me Over. What few people know, is that behind the iconic music is a strong woman whose fierce determination not only brought her worldwide success, but also a voice she used to fight for humanitarian causes.

“Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over” is a fun and sweet look into the life of the performer.” – Indiewire

“The movie truly understands what a transformational figure she was.” – Variety
