Seen as one of the most colourful and much loved personalities in the hip-hop music industry Tupac Shakur the legend now lives on in this definitive documentary. Meticulously assembled from seemingly innumerable sources, this documentary begins on the street corners of Compton- Los Angeles, and tells the tale of the rise and fall of one of the most inspirational music artists of the 90s. It is a frank portrait of a young man who rose from a life of adversity into a global icon who touched millions of lives. This inspirational life story, told entirely in his own words, features never-before-seen concert footage, private home movies and excerpts from Tupac's poetry and journals. Produced by former Black Panther Afeni Shakur, Tupac's own mother, this is a very personal portrayal of a sensitive, passionate and often provocative artist who died before his time. The film's producer and director Lauren Lazin does a remarkable job in catching Tupac in the act of discovering himself. An enthralling documentary about a character, a way of life, and a culture.
