Written and directed by John Singleton and starring Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur, POETIC JUSTICE features the poetry of AFI Directing Workshop for Women alumna – and AFI Honorary Degree recipient – Maya Angelou, who also appears in the film. According to writer/director John Singleton, Maya Angelou improvised most of her dialogue in the film. Singleton felt she spoke so beautifully that his own scripted words could never do justice to her own authentic voice.
