What Happened, Miss Simone?

— A fine biography of Nina Simone that uses archival material to present Simone’s talent and her crazed life. I only knew Simone’s voice and talent as a singer and pianist and, somehow, missed the extent of her involvement in the civil rights movement and the effect it had on her career. I was also unaware of her bipolar disorder and penchant for tantrums. I enjoyed this film a lot and, if you have any love of her talent, you’ll like the film too.
