I hope they do get to complete this documentary. I've never even come across one snippet of a video of Ms. Davis performing. Ever.

If you look at the movie trailer it looks like they have teasers of Betty performing with a mic in color...

It's just amazing how obscure and mysterious Betty was.I even asked my parents if they remembered hearing about her in the 70s and they had no clue what I was talking about.

That's an actress doing a reenactment.

But I'm pretty excited about this.

We are also on the trail of the only existing high quality 35mm footage of Betty performing live - this is incredibly exciting.

There is footage and great music, but the filmmakers do not own it and raising money, partially, to license that material.
