Anyone who reads my writing on a semi regular basis has probably already gleamed my love for Nina Simone – she often makes it into every gift guide possible that I post. Well today I got a gift from Netflix- the trailer for What Happened, Miss Simone?, That’s right, Netflix has produced their very own Nina Simone documentary.Helmed by Oscar-nominated director Liz Garbus (Bobby Fischer Against the World, Killing in the Name), the fully authorized documentary incorporates concert footage, archival material, and interviews taking place over three decades.
The movie will be available on June 26.
