The Maya Angelou Documentary will be premiering at Sundance

Sundance announced that Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise will be premiering at the 2016 Sundance film festival. The documentary, which is directed by Bob Hercules and Rita Coburn Whack, examines Dr. Angelou’s remarkable life––from her birth in 1928 to her passing in May of 2014––which spanned the Jim Crow South, the Civil Rights, the Women’s, and Art Movements, along with her impact on celebrity and mainstream popular culture. With the help of Vann Alexandra, the campaign raised more than $153,000 on Kickstarter. See the full announcement at Sundance.org.
