What will George Michael Freedom Uncut be about?

The 108 minute documentary, which is directed by David Austin, will tell the story of George Michael's career and will include contributions from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Liam Gallagher, Nile Rogers, Mary J. Blige and more.

A press release reads: "The film delves into the turbulent period after “Faith” leading up to, during and after the making of his “Listen Without Prejudice: Vol 1” album in 1990. At this pivotal period of his life, Michael is able to fight for his artistic freedom and lead the way for others. He meets his first real love, Anselmo Feleppa and navigates both the heartbreak of Anselmo’s early tragic passing from an AIDS related illness and the devastating loss of his mother. GEORGE MICHAEL FREEDOM UNCUT is also a brilliant reminder of Michael’s outstanding musical genius during the Wham! years and throughout his solo career. The film features timeless duets with George’s favourite artists and explores how he influenced the cultural landscape of his generation as one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time."

Director David Austin said: “The film is George's final work. Narrated by George himself, it is the complete story."
