Star-studded biography
Maya Angelou and Still I Rise (2016) was co-directed by Bob Hercules and Rita Coburn Whack.

Maya Angelou was an icon of our times. This is a solid biography, filled with clips from Angelou’s past as well as interviews with celebrities who knew her: Cicely Tyson, Diahann Carroll, Nikki Giovanni, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, etc.

Somehow, this biography didn’t move me as much as I thought it would. It’s true that, not being a person of color, I may have missed some aspects of Dr. Angelou’s personality and achievements that others perceived.

For me–as for many–Maya Angelou is remembered as a poet. I think that’s what was missing from the film. We hardly heard Dr. Angelou or anyone else recite her poetry. I think that would have made for a more meaningful movie.

The film worked well on the small screen. It has a very strong IMDb rating of 7.9. I didn’t think it was quite that good, and rated it 7.

A Remarkable Documentary About a Remarkable Woman
This is a beautifully constructed documentary that gives a total picture of the amazing Maya Angelou. It goes back to her roots which included being raped as a child, to her dancing and singing. It wasn’t long before she began to become the voice of humanity and blackness. It includes the cream of the black artists. There is a bit where they list a series of black performers who play before sold out audiences and then are not allowed to go out an mingle with the crowds. Imagine, the people paid a fortune to see Sammy Davis, Jr., and yet he had to go back to his dressing room after he performed. She prospered. But she faced off against authority and kept to her African roots. If you talk about the civil rights movement and she was there. Of course, she eventually became one of America’s greatest poets.
