Synopsis
Life Itself
The surprising and entertaining life of renowned film critic and social commentator Roger Ebert (1942-2013): his early days as a freewheeling bachelor and Pulitzer Prize winner, his famously contentious partnership with Gene Siskel, his life-altering marriage, and his brave and transcendent battle with cancer.
Not On the Heep: The Heavy Metal Saga of Lee Kerslake
At Heavy Metal’s dawn, the sun rose to the beat of Lee Kerslake’s powerhouse drumming. Through a career of 50 years and 60 million albums sold, he became a legend. Now he must face the end of his days. He reconnects with lifelong pals from Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard, Deep Purple and Iron Maiden, and performs one last time with the band he created, Uriah Heep.
