Description

Celebrate the much-beloved and often misunderstood legendary singer, songwriter, pianist, and activist, Nina Simone, as she makes her way from the segregated South through the worlds of classical music, jazz joints, and international concert halls. Navigating the twists and turns of the 1960s fight for racial equality, this doc delves deep into Nina’s artistry and intentions, answering long-held questions behind her most beloved songs, bold style, controversial statements, and the reason she left America.

Join us for a post-screening Q&A with director Jeff L. Lieberman.
