Suleika is the author of the Life Interrupted column at The New York Times and has also written for Vogue, Glamour and more. Her 2021 memoir Between Two Kingdoms was a New York Times Best Seller.
Early in 2022, multi-instrumentalist Jon Batiste finds himself the most celebrated artist of the year with eleven Grammy nominations including Album of the Year. In the midst of that triumph, Jon is immersed in his most ambitious challenge yet: composing “American Symphony”, an original symphony that thrillingly reimagines the classical traditions of the form, bringing together an expansive and inclusive diaspora of music for a performance at storied Carnegie Hall. This extraordinary trajectory is upended, however, when Batiste’s life partner - best-selling author Suleika Jaouad - learns that her long dormant cancer has returned. In the moving and deeply intimate AMERICAN SYMPHONY, Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning director Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land, The First Wave, Retrograde) delivers a portrait of two inimitable artists at a crossroad and a profound meditation on art, love, and the creative process.
Linda Marric asks the questions.
The film will be released on the 1st of December, 2023.

I watched it today and I must confess,I’m inspired to pay more attention to my spirituality.What an amazing couple.
American symphony... It's a beautiful mix of creativity of art and the art of life amidst pain, suffering, love and sacrifices. A journey of life and the beauty and ugliness it offers, sometimes simultaneously.
