I Called Him Morgan
Details
Directed by Kasper Collin, this documentary combines archival footage, interviews with key figures in the jazz community, and Helen's own recorded audio interviews to create an intimate and mesmerizing portrayal of the couple's complex dynamics. Through these sources, viewers gain insight into Lee's musical brilliance and personal struggles, as well as Helen's role as a supportive partner and manager.
However, the story takes a dark turn as the film delves into the night of February 19, 1972, when Lee was tragically shot dead at the age of 33. Helen, consumed by heroin addiction and a history of mental illness, was charged with the crime. I Called Him Morgan sheds light on the events leading up to that fatal night and explores the impact it had on the jazz community.
This powerful documentary is a must-watch for jazz enthusiasts, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of two extraordinary individuals and the complexities of their relationship. I Called Him Morgan promises to captivate viewers with its blend of music, history, and human drama.
