In this intimist portrait of the artist, family and friends reveal her strengths and weaknesses. Musical excerpts abundantly illustrate her rich repertoire.

Singer, piano virtuoso and black rights activist, Nina Simone has led an exciting life, vivid with contrast, from the darkness of oblivion to the glittering lights of the stage and stardom.
In this intimist portrait of the artist, family and friends reveal her strengths and weaknesses, her reticent, fragile, and excessive nature.
