RadioOnFire.com - The film is an in-depth look at the often tragic life of Whitney Houston, directed by Kevin MacDonald, whose work includes Touching the Void, The Last King of Scotland and Marley.
It features brand new interviews with friends, family and collaborators, including producer Clive Davis, her ex-husband Bobby Brown and her mother Cissy Houston.
MacDonald said in a statement: “I approached Whitney’s life like a mystery story; why did someone with so much raw talent and beauty self-destruct so publicly and painfully?
“I was lucky enough to have the support of Pat Houston and the Whitney Houston estate in this quest. They entrusted me with the ‘keys to the vault’ while giving me complete freedom to follow the story wherever it went.
"At heart, Whitney is an intimate family story that reveals a new side to a woman that even her most die-hard fans never knew.”
The film also features never-before-seen archive footage, exclusive demo recordings, rare performances, and audio archives. During the film, Houston family members allege that Whitney was sexually abused by her singer cousin Dee Dee Warwick, the sister of Dionne.
