'Woman Day' was one of the best jazz singers the globe ever heard. In 1971, journalist Linda Lipnack Kuehl set out to compose the conclusive biography of Billie Holiday. Before her strange fatality in 1978, Lipnack Kuehl had taped over 200 hrs of interviews. The tapes have never ever been heard. Now they form the basis of a climatic, multi-layered docudrama that catches the many intricate aspects of a happy black female, violent drug abuser, dedicated good friend, vindictive enthusiast as well as extraordinary singer of 'God Bless The Child', 'Saddest Story' and also the haunting 'Unusual Fruit'.
