"What Happened, Miss Simone?" - Lauryn Hill CoverNetflix and RadicalMedia paired up to produce and release the documentary, "What Happened, Miss Simone?," directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus ("The Farm: Angola," "USA" and "Bobby Fischer Against the World"), which will premiere exclusively in all territories where Netflix is available, on June 26. 

Made in cooperation with the Estate of Nina Simone, and described as an "epic" documentary, director Liz Garbus’ film interweaves never-before-heard recordings and rare archival footage together, with Nina’’s most memorable songs, incorporating never-before-heard audio tapes, recorded over the course of 3 decades, of Nina, telling her life story to various interviewers and would-be biographers. Rare concert footage and archival interviews, along with diaries, letters, interviews with Nina’’s daughter, Lisa Simone Kelly, friends and collaborators, and other exclusive materials, make this the most authentic, personal, and unflinching telling of the extraordinary life of one of the 20th Century’s greatest recording artists. 

Emmy–award nominated cinematographer Igor Martinovic ("House of Cards," "Man on Wire") shot the film, and Joshua L. Pearson ("Made in America," "Under African Skies") edited. Sidney Beaumont ("Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory"), Jon Kamen ("The Fog of War"), Lisa Nishimura ("The Square," "Virunga"), Adam Del Deo ("The Square") and Lisa Simone Kelly serve as executive producers on the film. 

Accompanying its release, the RCA music label will also drop a Nina Simone tribute album, titled "Nina Revisited: A Tribute to Nina Simone," which comes out on July 10. Among others, it’ll feature the contributions of Mary J. Blige, Usher, Common, Alice Smith, Simone’s daughter Lisa, and Lauryn Hill, who also co-produced the album with Robert Glasper, and performed at a recent Nina Simone tribute concert after the film premiered at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater.

“Because I fed on this music, both hers and lovers like her, like my basic food, I believed I always had a right to have a voice,” Ms. Hill says. “Her example is clearly a form of sustenance to a generation needing to find theirs. What a gift.”
