“This is a perspective that will really show you who she fully was as a woman and an artist and a mother,” says Summer’s daughter Brooklyn Sudano of the new HBO documentary. “It’s the whole spectrum.”
The life and legacy of the ’70s icon—who became known as the Queen of Disco but was also an early pioneer of electronic dance music—is celebrated in a new HBO documentary,, a moving feat co-directed by Summer’s daughter Brooklyn Sudano and documentarian Roger Ross Williams.
For me it was really talking to my father. It was really important, obviously, to get his stamp of approval and have the family’s full support—which I did—and it ended up being completely impactful to the film that we were able to create. He told me just to go for it. It took a little bit of time to find the right team, but I’m so incredibly grateful for our producers and that they introduced me to Roger Ross Williams, who is my co-director and an incredible documentarian.
I think specifically seeing your perspective as a daughter is so important too. As daughters, we think we know everything about our moms, and we really know nothing, and we realize that as we get older. As you were researching and talking to family and going through this process, what was something you learned about her that you didn’t know previously?
