The Oscar-nominated filmmaker who directed Harry and Meghan's Netflix docuseries hopes viewers will approach the show with an open mind. Liz Garbus, whose features What Happened, Miss Simone? and The Farm: Angola, USA were shortlisted for Academy Awards, said it was a "privilege" to work with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The 52-year-old said the couple "bravely allowed themselves to be vulnerable" for the six-part series, volume one of which dropped on Thursday. In a Netflix article released alongside the documentary, Garbus said: "It has been a privilege to be able to work with Harry and Meghan, who bravely allowed themselves to be vulnerable by sharing their personal stories and archive.
“I hope that when Netflix viewers press play, whatever preconceptions people have, they will be open to the discovery of what we’ve shared in this documentary series. It’s an incredible love story set against the context of huge stakes and their journey is a historical event that will be examined for a long time to come.”
