Prince Documentary Director Slams Estate for Canceling Project: ‘It’s a Joke’
Filmmaker Ezra Edelman planned a 9-hour documentary about the Purple One.
Ezra Edelman, director of a scrapped Netflix documentary focused on Prince, has shared his disappointment about the project being discarded. In early-February, it was revealed that the late musician’s estate and Netflix have decided to shelve the project, to be replaced by “a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince’s archive.” As reported by The New York Times last November, the planned 9-hour documentary was set to make allegations of physical and emotional abuse inflicted by Prince. The director went on to accuse Netflix of being “afraid” to reveal Prince’s “humanity,” calling it “galling” to observe “the short-sightedness of a group of people whose interest is their own bottom line.”
