The film, Lee's first feature-length documentary, will premiere Wednesday at the Guild 50th Street Theatre in New York.
Plans also call for a Birmingham premiere, along with releases in select cities across the country.
The film will air on the HBO cable network in February. This was extremely important to Spike, he has been extremely committed to this project. It's certainly something to be proud of. Along with McNair and his wife, Maxine, the film features Carole Robertson's mother, Alpha Robertson, and sister, Diane Braddock, former Birmingham Mayor David Vann and former Alabama Attorney General Bill Baxley. Ms. Bazan said she did not know if Ms. Robertson or Ms. Braddock planned to attend the premiere.
