Laurent Bouzereau

From his early days as a jazz pianist to his 54 Oscar nominations and five wins, this documentary celebrates Williams’ countless contributions to the moving image arts, music for the concert stage, as well as his indelible impact on popular culture.

Travelling back to the places where he grew up, Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk) explores his childhood roots, gay identity and close relationship with his mother, who overcame childhood polio, abusive marriages and Mormon dogma, while becoming Black’s emotional rock and, ultimately, the inspiration for his activism.
