Rhythm & Views Film Festival, in association with Lambeth Libraries BHM, presents What Happened, Miss Simone? (Dir. Liz Garbus, 2015).
Fascinating Oscar-nominated film about Nina Simone, outstanding civil rights activist and one of the greatest musicians of her generation. A powerhouse of creativity – and composer of the soundtrack to the civil rights movement.
This compelling film gives us Nina’s spell-binding voice, views and music. It also name-checks a whose-who of political, social and cultural activists, from Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, to Stokely Carmichel and Dick Gregory. Not to be missed.
Running time: 1hr 41mins. Cert. 15
