Oprah Winfrey is mourning Queen Elizabeth II's death.
The film includes footage of Poitier himself, which came from a two day-long interview Winfrey did with him in 2012.
According to Hudlin, that footage"became the spine of the film," and was one of the many reasons he was happy to have Winfrey onboard with the project. That motivation, Winfrey said, was"to guard and protect the story, and to honor the story in a way that he honored his own life."
