DOCUMENTARY 'DEAR MAMA'*Artist  Poet  Actor  Revolutionary  Legend- Tupac ShakurTupac Shakur is
one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a
century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five  he continues to be one
of the most misunderstood  complicated and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac's
unapologetic lyrics  for which he was villainized by many at the time  read in these pages as
prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their
lives did not matter  continues to inspire his fans around the world. In Tupac Shakur  author
and screenwriter Staci Robinson-who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his
mother  Afeni Shakur  to write his biography-peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities
that have shadowed Tupac's existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks  letters 
unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best 
Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art  and a man driven by
equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness. It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a
love for each other and for their people  and the relationship that endured through their
darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 60's Civil Rights
Movement  and takes you through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the nineties
era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And  of
course  it is the story of his music  his timeless message that will never die as it continues
to touch and inspire past  present and future generations. New Feature Information
