VISUAL CUES<br />
We are transfixed by Adepero Oduye’s short film, To Be Free. In the film, which<br />
showcases Oduye’s many talents as writer, directer and star, she transforms herself into<br />
the legendary Nina Simone. Filmed in Brooklyn, NY, with an intimate cast of friends<br />
and fellow actors, the audience is transported to the 1960s for a single impromptu<br />
performance by Miss Simone, where she is truly free. Having the opportunity to<br />
participate in the film as part of the audience, we saw first-hand the making of a film<br />
that not only celebrates an icon, but the freedom that can come in a moment of honest<br />
self-expression.<br />
