What Happened, Miss Simone? is a 2015 biographical documentary film about Nina Simone directed by Liz Garbus. The film opened the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The screening was followed by a tribute performance by John Legend.^[1] The film was released by Netflix on June 26, 2015. The documentary combines previously unreleased archival footage and interviews with Simone's daughter and friends. The title of the film was taken from a Maya Angelou quote.^[2]

Production

Garbus was approached with the idea and rights for the film by RadicalMedia.^[3] Nina's daughter Lisa Simone Kelly served as the film's executive producer.^[4]

Reception

Indiewire gave the film a B grade.^[5] Michael Hogan wrote for Vanity Fair that, "The risk of making a documentary of a towering artist is that, by explaining her, you only end up diminishing her. Not Nina Simone—not this time. In Liz Garbus's telling, Simone’s talent and personality shine through, as gloriously singular, and uncontrollable, as ever."^[6] On December 1st, the film was selected as one of 15 shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.^[7] The movie was nominated on January 14, 2016 for a 2016 Academy Award for Best Documentary – Feature.^[8]

The film was nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Directing for a Nonfiction Program,^[9] winning the former.
