The Misty Copeland Biopic Gets A Director
Based on Misty Copeland’s memoir Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina, the biopic will be directed by Nzingha Stewart.

As a filmmaker, I am thrilled to bring this hopeful, triumphant, and cinematic story to the big screen.” So ready the popcorn and the tissues.
