The Dawn Porter-produced film, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, explores Vandross’s career as he charted his own course in becoming one of the most decorated and influential artists of all time, according to the networks. The project will feature archival footage of Vandross, who died in 2005, along with interviews with Mariah Carey, Dionne Warwick, Valerie Simpson and Roberta Flack.
