Plots(1)
Years-in-the-making, Zappa is the first all-access documentary about the legendary icon. Conveying the scope of his prodigious and varied creative output and the breadth of his extraordinary personal and political life, director/producer Alex Winter and producer Glen Zipper were granted exclusive access by Gail Zappa to a vast collection of his unreleased music, movies, incomplete projects, unseen interviews and unheard concert recordings, much of which was deteriorating and in danger of being lost forever. Following a two year mission to preserve and archive the vault materials, they assembled Zappa with this wealth of never before seen footage and the addition of present-day interviews, building a narrative both intimate and epic in scope.
