Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tina had already retired from public life; these interviews were explicitly her closing statement on her own terms. She died two years later, making this her final word.
The film's release coincided with a broader reckoning about how Black women's pain gets archived — Tina controlling this narrative was itself a radical act after decades of others profiting from her trauma.
