"Presenting Princess Shaw" is one of the year's most crowd-pleasing documentaries at festivals from TIFF to True/False to SXSW. Now it's releasing in theaters and on VOD. Director Ido Haar follows Samantha Montgomery, aka Princess Shaw, an aspiring singer in New Orleans who posts her songs and diaries on YouTube. Unbeknownst to her, the composer Kutiman is listening from 7,000 miles away and will have a dramatic impact on her life. On Pure Nonfiction, Princess Shaw talks to Thom Powers about opening her life up to a stranger from abroad; and she samples a song from her upcoming album.
