Tyson

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson examines his own life in and out of the ring with brutal honesty.

Mike Tyson examines his own life in and out of the ring with a candor, eloquence and vulnerability that is by turns poignant, funny and never less than brutally honest. Through a deft mixture of original interviews and archival footage and photographs, a surprisingly complex, fully rounded human being emerges. TYSON offers much more than a documentary about a former heavyweight champ - it is the story of a legendary and uniquely controversial international athletic icon, a figure conjuring radical questions of race and class, and a man who arose from the most debased circumstances and soared to seemingly unlimited heights, followed by destruction generated by hubris, like a character out of a classical tragedy.
