The Amazing Nina Simone

The life of one of America's most unique musicians is recounted in a moving biographical, musical, and social history. Prevented from pursuing a career in classical music, Nina Simone mixed her classical training with blues and jazz. She responded to the civil rights era as both a musician and an activist, and by the late 60s she was a legend.

Musical tribute to Nina Simone by Nina's brother, Jazz/Blues legend Sam Waymon, and his band, starting at 7:30.

Meet the Filmmaker: Director Jeff L. Lieberman together with Nina's brother and musical director, Sam Waymon, with be present to discuss the film with moderator Alicia Crowe.

Community Partners: VCS Inc. and the African American Historical Society of Rockland County
