Record producers and songwriters Nate Wonder & Roman GianArthur have composed the original score for the upcoming Netflix original documentary Stamped from the Beginning. The film directed by Roger Ross Williams (Life, Animated, The Apollo, Cassandro) is inspired by Ibram X. Kendi’s book of the same title and explores the history of anti-Black ideas in a way that helps us grapple with present-day racism. The movie uses vivid animations that illuminate figures and moments both well-known and obscure, both historical and contemporary. Williams is also producing the One Story Up production with Alisa Payne and David Teague. Wonder & GianArthur who are known for their collaborations with Janelle Monáe have previously made their scoring debut on the 2020 horror feature, Antebellum. Stamped from the Beginning will premiere later this week at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and will make its Netflix debut on November 15.
