Ezra Edelman expresses frustration over Netflix's decision to scrap his nine-hour Prince documentary during a candid podcast discussion, citing clashes with the singer's estate. The director of the acclaimed O.J.: Made In America documentary criticizes Netflix for pulling the plug on his project, which aimed to showcase Prince's brilliance and humanity in a comprehensive light. Edelman reveals that Netflix initially allowed estate input to ensure factual accuracy but later faced objections over editorial content, leading to the project's abrupt cancellation. The director emphasizes the importance of depicting Prince's multifaceted nature and challenges the estate's desire for a more controlled portrayal of the iconic musician in a potential upcoming Netflix project.
