The Musical Genius Nina Simone, Revisited

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 23, 2015

Director Liz Garbus discusses her new documentary, “What Happened Miss Simone?” The film interweaves never-before-heard recordings and rare archival footage together with Nina's most memorable songs, to create a portrait of one of the least understood, yet most beloved, artists of our time.

Liz Garbus will be holding a Q&A on June 24 after the 7:20pm screening at IFC Center.
