Tina (2021)

An intimate look at the legendary rock icon Tina Turner. Her rise and early fame, personal and professional setbacks and struggles and her rebirth as a global phenomenon in the 1980s. Directed by Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin. After two biographies and a hit movie on her life, there's not much more we can discover about Tina Turner. This documentary benefits from rare footage and stills as well as interviews with Turner herself, husband Erwin Bach, celebrity pals like Oprah Winfrey and Angela Bassett and family members and intimate friends. There have been few show business back stories as powerful as Turner's surviving abuse and building a new career from scratch after being a star in another era. Turner doesn't perform anymore, she's retired in Switzerland and the documentary serves as a fitting goodbye to public life. Indispensable for Turner fans and who isn't?
