Her versions of Jazz Classics like “Mean to me” and “My Man” are unparalleled. And in 1939 she sang “Strange fruit”, that then became one of the protest songs for the US anti-racism movement: Billie Holiday. Based on unpublished recordings of Interviews with fellow band members and family from the nineteen-seventies, BILLIE is a moving portrait of the life and work of the famous singer. And the featured colorized and digitally restored original footage from several of her concerts brings her art to life most effectfully – A must for Jazz enthusiasts!
