    "Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise" is the first feature-length documentary on the iconic poet/activist. The movie made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and we spoke with co-directors Rita Coburn Whack and Bob Hercules about the daunting task of telling the legend's life story, through both archival footage and interviews with those who knew her best.
