This feature film shows how David Bowie built one of the greatest comebacks in music history. The 1990s were hard for Bowie as critics attacked his work and fans walked away. Yet, this film traces his path back to the top, leading to his final album, Blackstar. Through chats with close friends like Tony Visconti, Goldie, and Hanif Kureishi, the film reveals the smart plans behind Bowie's final years. Viewers learn how his 1993 film music reconnected him with his roots. At the same time, his love for new music styles showed an artist eager for fresh sounds. The film also captures his famous 2000 Glastonbury show, where he reclaimed his spot as a rock star. After a heart attack in 2004, Bowie stepped back for ten years before making a strong return with The Next Day. He then made Blackstar while facing tough cancer care. Made by the team behind Freddie Mercury: The Final Act, this film shows Bowie as a brave artist who turned his own life and death into art.
