Omar MooreI highly recommend two documentaries featuring Nina Simone (the first one features her for only a few minutes but is well worth watching):
SUMMER OF SOUL (2021) - directed by Questlove
WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE? (2015) - directed by Liz Garbus
Shaun (he / him)@popcornreel #SummerOfSoul is such a phenomenal documentary!
The whole time, I was 🤯
Strong second on that documentary from #QuestLove

GMKSummer of Soul was amazing and I was all over the place emotionally. I believe that I hadn’t thought about Gil Scott Heron’s “Whitey on the Moon” for a long time, and when I played it for my 23 year old daughter she was almost crying.
@tattoo55 Excellent documentary, indeed. The emotional pulse and crescendo is palpable. I was stirred, inspired and buoyed by this great film. Glad to hear that your daughter felt the impact. Like you I hadn’t heard or thought about “Whitey On The Moon” for many years. Of course there is “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” and others. Gil Scott Heron was pure poetic genius.
Kevin Brabant@popcornreel "Summer of Soul" is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Truly inspiring.
