Legendary African-American poet and activist Nikki Giovanni was one of America's greatest artists and social commentators.

This beguiling portrait, which follows Giovanni as she approaches 80, was completed and released to international acclaim before she passed away in December 2024.

Looking back at a personal life and history cast in the long shadow of American racism, and forward to hopeful, possible futures, Going to Mars explores Giovanni’s Afrofuturist-feminist philosophical outlook as well as her poignant relationship with her family, her political audacity and her poetic eloquence, with Giovanni herself as our guide and narrator.
