Celebrating the life and work of Marc Bolan,  Ethan Silverman’s film is the first to explore the complex and revolutionary music and lyrics of Marc Bolan and T. Rex.

It features archival performances, interviews with Bolan, Elton John and Ringo Starr, plus filmed musical interpretations by artists including U2, Nick Cave, John Cameron Mitchell, Joan Jett, Macy Gray,  Lucinda Williams, Father John Misty and Rolan Bolan.

The documentary creates an exuberant and thoughtful examination of a true original: a glam rock pioneer, gender-bending free spirit and explorer of punk and soul music.
