Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson delve into the poet's life in a documentary that teeters between formal experimentation and dutiful portrait.

Going to Mars: The, the poet Nikki Giovanni shows her cards: “I don’t remember a lot of things,” she says as images of a glittering galaxy and archival footage of the poet as a child flash onscreen. “I remember what is important and I make up the rest. That’s what storytelling is all about.”

Brewster and Stephenson don’t question Giovanni’s proposition; they find purpose in it. Her words become a statement of intention , a warning and a rejection of formal conventions . In that last question, Giovanni is whispering back to Audre Lorde, the poet who coined the term biomythography to describe her book, a text that combined biography, history and myth to tell a more accurate story of her life.
