We speak to legendary documentary maker Nick Broomfield ('Kurt and Courtney', 'Biggie and Tupac') about his intimate new portrait of Whitney Houston. Constructed from hundreds of hours of unseen footage of Whitney, Broomfield's film redefines the modern perception of the great singer, although the tragedy of her death remains, Broomfield's eulogy is instead a celebration of her life and talents. Discussing the film this week are Sam Howlett, Jenna Hobbs and Harry Chapman.
