Whitney Houston\u2019s life and legacy will live on in theaters across the country later this year.<\/p>\n

Miramax and Roadside Attractions announced Friday they will release the feature-length documentary\u00a0Whitney<\/em>, an \u201cintimate, definitive account of the superstar\u2019s life and career\u201d and \u201cthe only film officially supported by the late singer\u2019s estate\u201d across the nation on July 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cI approached Whitney\u2019s life like a mystery story; why did someone with so much raw talent and beauty self-destruct so publicly and painfully? I was lucky enough to have the support of Pat Houston and the Whitney Houston estate in this quest,\u201d the film\u2019s Oscar-winning director, Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September<\/em>), said in a statement. \u201cThey entrusted me with the \u2018keys to the vault\u2019 while giving me complete freedom to follow the story wherever it went. At heart,\u00a0Whitney<\/i>\u00a0is an intimate family story that reveals a new side to a woman that even her most die-hard fans never knew.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to showcasing her robust discography \u2014 which has amassed over 200 million album sales worldwide \u2014 the nonfiction film includes unreleased recordings, exclusive never-before-seen footage from Houston\u2019s personal life and live performances from various stages of her career. The filmmakers also had access to the Houston estate\u2019s archives, so the production additionally features intimate home movies showing the pop icon interacting with friends, relatives, and collaborators.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo tell Whitney\u2019s story, you have to know her story.\u00a0We could not be more excited that Whitney\u2019s fans will have this authoritative and definitive documentary chronicling the full arc or her career and the scope of Whitney\u2019s entire life,\u201d a statement from\u00a0Patricia Houston, Whitney\u2019s former manager, sister-in-law, and estate executor, reads. \u201cThis is an amazing retrospective that celebrates Whitney with never-before-seen footage and Kevin approaches her life with no blinders on. He captures all of Whitney\u2019s magic, and he does not ignore the hard times. This is a film that will truly thrill all who knew and loved her as a musician, actress, model and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

After years of struggling with substance abuse, Houston died Feb. 11, 2012 from an accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub. The Los Angeles County Coroner later found that \u201ceffects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use\u201d contributed to her death.<\/p>\n

Houston\u2019s life previously inspired the Angela Bassett-directed Lifetime movie\u00a0Whitney,\u00a0<\/em>starring former\u00a0America\u2019s Next Top Model<\/em>\u00a0contestant Yaya DaCosta in the title role, and the television documentary\u00a0Whitney: Can I Be Me<\/em>, which premiered on Showtime in 2017.<\/p>\n
