Directed by Kevin MacDonald (“The Last King of Scotland”), the feature-length doc uses archival footage, demo recordings and interviews with friends and family to illuminate the woman behind the amazing voice.
The Cannes screening resulted in a revelation from Houston’s family: As a child, she was reportedly sexually abused by her cousin, Dee Dee Warwick. Warwick, who was 18 years older than Houston, died in 2008. She was Dionne Warwick’s sister.
