American writer Joan Didion is the subject of a new Netflix documentary. Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold chronicles the author’s life and work, and it’s set to arrive on October 27. Directed by her nephew Griffin Dunne, the film includes footage of Didion partying with Janis Joplin, hanging out with Jim Morrision in the recording studio, and more. Find a preview of the film below. “It is a tremendous honor to have the opportunity to convey the life and work of my aunt, and literary icon, Joan Didion,” said Dunne in a statement. “This documentary is a true labor of love and to partner with Netflix, who will help bring this to a global audience, is more than I could have hoped for when I started on this over 5 years ago.” The film will premiere at the 55th New York Film Festival later this fall.
