You’ve heard the music and you think you know the man but do you really understand what he went through and what moments shaped him into the person he became.this film will bring you to witness for the first time what it was like to be around the legend, to see his pain his sorrows his joys and his redemption.”

“The cast and crew represents one of the most unique creation to ever come out of a Hollywood studio,” he added.
