Here’s the brand new trailer for What Happened, Miss Simone? which hits Netflix 26th June. This one is an absolute must watch for fans of Nina Simone and all the wonderful music she produced. The documentary gives an introduction to the artist and her music alongside her home life as a mother, wife and activist.
What Happened, Miss Simone? is directed by Liz Garbus and contains previously unreleased audio as well as interviews and concert footage. Check out the trailer below.
The film, by Academy Award®-nominated director Liz Garbus, uses never-before-heard audio tapes, recorded over the course of three decades, of Nina telling her life story to various interviewers and would-be biographers. From over 100 hours of these recordings, WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE? weaves together Nina’s narrative, told largely in her own words. Rare concert footage and archival interviews, along with diaries, letters, interviews with Nina’s daughter, Lisa Simone Kelly, friends and collaborators, along with other exclusive materials, make this the most authentic, personal, and unflinching telling of the extraordinary life of one of the 20th Century’s greatest recording artists.
