There have been many great documentary filmmakers over the years, but of those at work today,

one of the undoubted bosses is Nick Broomfield.

Often controversial, always challenging.

Nick has covered subjects from serial killers, Hollywood Madams to Africaner Nationalists.

He's perhaps best known for Kurt and Courtney,

an incendiary investigation into the events surrounding Cobain's death,

which love was none too happy about.

We will, of course, hear plenty more about that shortly.

I'm Edith Bowman, and you're listening to Soundtracking,

a weekly podcast about the sounds of screen.

Now, normally we play relevant musical extracts throughout the entirety of the conversation.

But given the nature of Nick's work, it's a more conventional interview on this occasion.

But there is plenty of music still to discuss,

not least because his latest project, Whitney, Can I Be Me, is all about Whitney Houston,

who was found dead in a hotel room in 2012.

Made in collaboration with filmmaker Rudy de Lesle.

Can I Be Me is scored by Nick Laird Close.

So it's his cues you'll hear whilst we discuss Nick's thoughts on the troubled superstar. Nick Brunfield, welcome to soundtracking, sir. It's a pleasure.

Thank you very much.

Let's start at the now.

I mean, there's so much to talk about.

We're never going to get through everything, but we'll start with the now.
