Does anyone own this or have seen it and can make a recommendation?
I'd be buying it for the Sweet Inspirations. I've seen some clips on YouTube
that looked interesting.

I bought it many years ago and enjoyed it very much.
I've seen it. Great doc.
Just watched the DVD "This Time"...a documentary on The Sweet Inspirations. Very good. Also, very sad as several have passed since the filming.
The album, In The Right Place, was being recorded at the time of the filming and heavily featured in the documentary. I bought the album when it was first released and It's one of my favorites of the Sweets. Sylvia Shemwell was brought in to sing on it after her stroke. Sadly, Myrna Smith, Sylvia and Cissy Houston have now passed.
I thought the Pat Hodges part segments were very emotional. The lady had a rough life after Hodges, James and Smith. Carolyn Crawford was also in the group early on. I just found out that Pat passed, though I don't know the exact date.

Oh, my goodness. I had no idea that Pat had passed away. One helluva singer who had a rough row to hoe in life, indeed. Rest in power.
