Documentary Description
Many unauthorized video titles have been released about the life of rap superstar Tupac Shakur. Tupac: Resurrection
is the only one to be both executive produced by his mother, former
Black Panther Afeni Shakur, and benefit from access to the MTV
archives. The documentary is the feature-length debut for director
Lauren Lazin, who has created several highly rated programs for both
MTV and PBS.
Using voice-overs, interviews, and other vocal
tracks recorded by the late artist himself, the film explores his life,
music, and death from fatal gunshot wounds in 1996. Includes rare
footage, home movies, private photographs, and excerpts from his
personal poetry, journals, and letters.
During the making of the film, MTV reached out to his fan base by
requesting submissions of Tupac memorabilia to be used in the film.
C’mon America 2003 features 13 live performances from eight-time Grammy
winner Sheryl Crow. The set includes more than two hours of footage,
including the No. 1 hit “All I Wanna Do” and the Top 10 hits “Everyday
Is a Winding Road,” “Leaving Las Vegas,” and “If It Makes You Happy”.
