- The life of Billie HolidayEverything has been written about the private life of Billie Holiday: a youth shattered by violence, a marital journey with many lows and an addiction to hard drugs which ate away a good part of her life. Skilfully crafted, the documentary "Billie Holiday, The Life And Artistry Of Lady Day" takes the opposite view of this tragic destiny and above all recalls the main musical chapters of the lady with the gardenia.
- Strange FruitStrange Fruit is the first documentary exploring the history and legacy of the Billie Holiday classic. The song's evolution tells a dramatic story of America's radical past using one of the most influential protest songs ever written as its epicenter.
