Maya Angelou: A Life Spent Pushing Boundaries

'For several generations, Dr. Maya Angelou has been revered as an awe inspiring voice that pushed boundaries. She opened the eyes and ears of millions to the continuous struggles facing African-Americans. In a new documentary called "Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise," directors Bob Hercules and Rita Coburn Whack recounts the life of the cultural icon — from her childhood in the Jim Crow Alabama, to her work with Malcolm X in Ghana, to reading her inaugural poem for President Bill Clinton. The film weaves together rare and intimate archival photographs, videos, and recordings painting the picture of a life well lived.' -- The Takeaway
