Maya Angelou is a woman who succeeded against all odds: despite the impoverished neighborhood she grew up in, despite being a Black woman in racist America, and despite a severe childhood trauma that left her unable to speak for five years. Despite all this, she became a successful and celebrated poet, an inspiration to millions in the U.S. and around the world, and had the honor of reading one of her poems at President Bill Clinton's inauguration ceremony. Her great success as a writer and poet began after the publication of her first autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," in 1969. But Angelou's life story includes many more achievements: she was a singer and dancer, a composer and a director, and above all, a prominent social activist in the struggle for Black civil rights. All of this is brought to the film through archival footage filmed throughout her life, accompanied by excerpts from her works. The result is an impressive portrait of a larger-than-life woman. 114 minutes, English, Hebrew subtitles. The screening and synopsis are courtesy of the Epos Festival.
