In addition, the film will feature live performances, original studio recordings, and home video footage.
Filmmaker, Kevin McDonald says of the film: "I approached Whitney's life like a mystery story; why did someone with so much raw talent and beauty self-destruct so publicly and painfully? At heart, 'Whitney' is an intimate family story that reveals a new side to a woman that even her most die-hard fans never knew."
