A forthcoming documentary about rock and roll pioneer Tina Turner will premiere on HBO and HBO Max next month on March 27th.
The new film from co-directors Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin will tell Turner’s life story beginning with her rise to stardom in the 1960s as one half of Ike & Tina Turner, her career resurgence as a pop superstar in the 1980s, and her well-documented private battles with spousal abuse at the hands of ex-husband Ike Turner.

The film will reportedly include new interviews with Tuner herself, in addition to interviews with Angela Bassett (who received an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Tuner in the 1994 biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It), her current husband/former record exec Erwin Bach, Oprah Winfrey, and more.
The film’s announcement on Wednesday comes on the same day it was announced that Turner is up for induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist for this year’s class of 2021. Turner was first inducted into the Rock Hall alongside Ike Turner in 1991.
