'Dear Mama' Director Allen Hughes On What We Can Expect From Forthcoming Tupac Shakur Documentary
Posted on
Attendees at the 2022 ESSENCE Festival of Culture were among the first to view a preview of the new film surrounding the life and legacy of music legend Tupac Shakur.
Aptly titled Dear Mama, it’s easy to tell from just one short clip that this film is unlike any other documentary we’ve seen about Tupac, as it’s sure to reveal sides of the artist yet to be seen by most audiences. Following the initial screening, audience members sat in on a panel with Director Allen Hughes and ESSENCE Senior Entertainment Editor Brande Victorian, listening intently as he explained the process behind making the film and what inspired him. Allen revealed he received a call from the family of Tupac, and even though he had an initial hesitance since the two had their well-documented issues when Tupac was alive, they assured him that “to know and love Tupac” is to go through things like that with him.
