Prince was a genius and a joy and a jolt to the senses, DuVernay told Deadline. He shattered every preconceived notion, smashed every boundary, shared everything in his heart through his music. The only way I know how to make this film is with love. And with great care. Im honored to do so and grateful for the opportunity entrusted to me by the estate.
