A new documentary streaming on HBO Max examines disco diva Donna Summer from her daughter's perspective. | ✍️ unlistenmusic
Donna Summer became one of the most iconic recording artists of the 70s and 80s while breaking racial barriers and subverting gender expectations and social norms. But what do we really know about her? What do we really know about anyone in the public eye versus what they want us to believe we know? As Summer asks in the audio clip that opens: “I have a secret life. You’re looking at me, but what you see is not what I am.
In search of the answer, directors Brooklyn Sudano and Roger Ross Williams plumb press snippets, home videos, and archival footage, and conduct intimate conversations with the singer’s family, friends, and colleagues.
Though the chronology is sometimes rocky and some of the performance clips are long enough to distract from the narrative, the directors create a touching, thought-provoking, and overwhelmingly human portrait of a fascinating artist.
