It also featured American stars including Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Jessie Reyez, Pharrell, and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Announcing the visual album, Beyonce accompanied the trailer on her Instagram page with a long piece which reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c\u201cBlack Is King\u201d is a labor of love. It is my passion project that I have been filming, researching and editing day and night for the past year. I\u2019ve given it my all and now it\u2019s yours. It was originally filmed as a companion piece to \u201cThe Lion King: The Gift\u201d soundtrack and meant to celebrate the breadth and beauty of Black ancestry. I could never have imagined that a year later, all the hard work that went into this production would serve a greater purpose.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The events of 2020 have made the film\u2019s vision and message even more relevant, as people across the world embark on a historic journey. We are all in search of safety and light. Many of us want change. I believe that when Black people tell our own stories, we can shift the axis of the world and tell our REAL history of generational wealth and richness of soul that are not told in our history books.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/pulsembed.eu\/p2em\/CjCazIsoG\/\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With this visual album, I wanted to present elements of Black history and African tradition, with a modern twist and a universal message, and what it truly means to find your self-identity and build a legacy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I spent a lot of time exploring and absorbing the lessons of past generations and the rich history of different African customs. While working on this film, there were moments where I\u2019ve felt overwhelmed, like many others on my creative team, but it was important to create a film that instills pride and knowledge.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I only hope that from watching, you leave feeling inspired to continue building a legacy that impacts the world in an immeasurable way. I pray that everyone sees the beauty and resilience of our people.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is a story of how the people left MOST BROKEN have EXTRAORDINARY gifts. Thank you to Blitz, Emmanuel, Ibra, Jenn, Pierre, Dikayl, Kwasi and all the brilliant creatives. Thank you to all at Disney for giving this Black woman the opportunity to tell this story.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This experience has been an affirmation of a grander purpose.
