Ava DuVernay is Working with Netflix on a Prince Documentary

Ava DuVernay is working with Netflix on a documentary about Prince, according to Variety.

The multiple-part documentary, which will cover the artist's entire life, has the full cooperation of the late artist's estate, which is providing with interviews, archival footage, photos and archive access.

After the news was announced, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker tweeted "Prince was a genius, a joy and a jolt to the senses. He was like no other. He SHATTERED preconceived notions, smashed boundaries, and shared his heart through his music. The only way I know how to make this film is with love and great care. I'm honored to do so and grateful."

DuVernay made her film debut in 2008 with "This Is the Life," which chronicled the alternative hip-hop scene in Los Angeles in the 1990s. She then went on to direct films such as "Selma" and "Queen Sugar." She also has a Netflix limited series, "The Central Park Five," premiering in 2019.
