Netflix has just released the first trailer for What Happened, Miss Simone?, a documentary about legendary singer Nina Simone. Directed by Oscar nominee Liz Garbus (The Farm: Angola, USA), the documentary will premiere on Netflix and in limited theaters on June 26, 2015.
The Plot:
The film 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.
