Does that mean this film is her last public appearance? Martin: РІР‚СљAnd home decorating!РІР‚Сњ In the film, TinaРІР‚в„ўs husband Erwin says the documentary is closure for Tina. We talked a lot about karma and the third eye.РІР‚Сњ That was pretty fundamental.РІР‚Сњ What was your first meeting with Tina like? We wanted to make sure it was the Tina Turner story, not the Tina and Ike Turner story. People in their thirties and forties have a basic understanding of the Tina Turner story, but the younger generation donРІР‚в„ўt really have a sense of who she is or who Ike Turner is. Martin: РІР‚СљI think thereРІР‚в„ўs an assumption that everyone knows TinaРІР‚в„ўs story, but thereРІР‚в„ўs definitely a generational divide.

CREDIT: Sky How did you decide how much of the film to dedicate to Ike Turner and his violent abuse of Tina? Martin (second from right) pose with Tina Turner and husband Erwin Bach. ThatРІР‚в„ўs how it happened.РІР‚в„ўРІР‚СњР”Вan Lindsay (left) and T.J. She really liked the film and said РІР‚ВYou guys got it right. Simon, the producer, Zoomed with her afterwards and she was smiling. Normally we would have flown to Zurich and shown her the film, but we were able to get a theatre there and she went and saw it. Lindsay: РІР‚СљWe finished editing during quarantine. That was what we latched on to.РІР‚Сњ What did Tina make of the film when she saw it? SheРІР‚в„ўs still struggling with the effects of the trauma sheРІР‚в„ўs suffered in her life. We wanted to show that her a survivor is a process that goes on even into her retirement. We started to realise that Tina has become a symbol of strength and resilience for a lot of people, but it didnРІР‚в„ўt seem like anybody had ever really talked to her about how she feels about being that. What the hell are you gonna make a documentary about?РІР‚в„ў Those were her literal first words. РІР‚ВThereРІР‚в„ўs a movie, thereРІР‚в„ўs a book, now thereРІР‚в„ўs a musical. Lindsay: РІР‚СљThe question youРІР‚в„ўre asking is basically the first thing that Tina said to us when we met her. What was left for your film to tell people about her?

So much of TinaРІР‚в„ўs story is already out there. We spoke to the documentary duo about how they ended up working with an icon РІР‚вЂњ and if this will be the last public appearance for the 81-year-old legend. Now theyРІР‚в„ўre telling the story of the mighty Tina Turner with TINA. Martin kicked off a decade at the forefront of filmmaking with their 2011 Oscar winner Undefeated, about the struggles of a high school football team.
