Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project is breathtaking visual masterpiece, blending her poetry, vintage film, and current day footage to tell the life and journey of a master poet. On one level, it's visually captivating, impossible to look away. At its core, it's a powerful composition of Giovanni and poetry across the decades. Though some poetry and vignettes are 50+ years old, the words and power are undeniably timeless, speaking across generations, races, and spaces. I didn't want this documentary to end and it will undoubtedly spark new explorers, including myself, into Nikki Giovanni's writings.
