With her honeyed voice, huge, doe eyes, and tumbling raven curls, Donna Summer was a popculture presence nonpareil, producing an improbable number of disco and R&B hits in the 1970s and 1980s. (“I Feel Love,” “Last Dance,” “Heaven Knows,” “Bad Girls,” “Hot Stuff,” “On the Radio”.the list goes on and on.) Yet behind the sexy persona and 10-minute dance mixes was a fiercely private mother of three girls; a survivor of sexual and physical abuse; and an irrepressible, agenda-setting artist who did, in fact, work very hard for the money.

Summer’s riveting story from her difficult childhood in Boston, where she eagerly sang in church, to her early break in Germany, hard-won success in the American disco scene, latecareer controversies, and fatal battle with lung cancer is the subject of a new HBO documentary, Love to Love You, Donna Summer. Directed by Roger Ross Williams and Summer’s daughter Brooklyn Sudano, it combines extensive home videos and concert footage with intimate new interviews, primarily with members of Summer’s immediate family, painting a textured portrait of a complicated star.
Director Ava DuVernay certainly knows the power of visuals. The Oscar-nominated and Emmywinning filmmaker behind Selma and When They See Us puts nuanced and dynamic stories about the Black community on screen. But her big-picture efforts also extend to the red carpet. DuVernay expertly turns press circuits and award campaigns, often a long-tail of safe attire for filmmakers, into exciting opportunities to promote and uplift minority creators. For the 2017 Oscars, amidst so-called “Muslim Bans” by the Trump Administration, Duvernay wore a custom dress by Muslim designer Mohammed Ashi of Lebanon as a “small sign of solidarity.” She has opted for other strategically splashy moments, including a color-blocked Prada look at the 2017 Governors ball; structural Louis Vuitton at the 2022 gala for The Academy Museum; and a sequined caped look, also by Louis Vuitton, for the 2023 Academy Awards. The approach seems to go beyond merely looking good for fashion’s sake.
