WHITNEY: CAN I BE ME

The voice you know. The story you don't.

From acclaimed directors Nick Broomfield and Rudi Dolezal comes a film about one of the greatest singers of all time.

Whitney Houston was the epitome of a superstar, an ‘American Princess’, the most awarded female artist ever.

Even though Whitney had made millions of dollars, had more consecutive number ones than The Beatles, and became recognisedas having one of the greatest voices of all time, she still wasn’t free to be herself and died from a drug overdose. She was only 48 years old.

Made with largely never-seen before footage and exclusive recordings, Whitney: Can I Be Me tells Whitney Houston’s incredible and poignant life story with insights from those closest to her.

“The movie has a haunting effect. It makes you want to reach right into the screen and tell Whitney Houston to draw herself back from the abyss, to find the thing she gave to so many others: the greatest love of all.” VARIETY
“It just has a story to tell, and it does that incredibly compellingly.” VARIETY
“It is a moving encapsulation of all that Whitney had to sacrifice to be a superstar.” THE MUSE
“Dazzling yet tender… reconciles both her tragic spirit and her astonishing talent." ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“The greatest love letter." EMPIRE
