Many unauthorized video titles have been released about the life of
rap superstar
Tupac Shakur.
Tupac: Resurrection is the only one to be both executive produced by his mother, former Black Panther
Afeni Shakur, and benefit from access to the
MTV archives. The
documentary is the feature-length debut for director
Lauren Lazin, who has created several highly rated programs for both
MTV and
PBS. Using voice-overs, interviews, and other vocal tracks recorded by the late artist himself, the film explores his life, music, and death from fatal gunshot wounds in 1996. Includes rare footage, home movies, private photographs, and excerpts from his personal poetry, journals, and letters. During the making of the film,
MTV reached out to his fan base by requesting submissions of
Tupac memorabilia to be used in the film. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
