A new Whitney Houston documentary is set to premiere at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, which takes place April 19th through 30th. The film does not involve Houston’s family, according to reports. Whitney: Can I Be Me, directed by documentarian Nick Broomfield (Kurt and Courtney, Biggie and Tupac, explores Houston’s ‘remarkable rise and fall and features largely never-before-seen footage.’ While a spokesperson for Houston’s family told Rolling Stone they are not involved in Broomfield’s documentary, the family did give its blessing to another project from Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald. The festival has named 82 of the 98 features for this year’s festival, divided into competition categories as well as Spotlight, Viewpoints and Midnight sections. Special screenings, gala titles and the closing night are among the features remaining to be announced. Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
