This June, join us in celebrating the birthday of mega pop icon George Michael with the release of GEORGE MICHAEL FREEDOM UNCUT. This career-spanning documentary marks the final work from the internationally renowned superstar and features incredible, unseen archival and private home footage. The documentary focuses on the formative period in Michael's life and career leading up to and following the making of his album "Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1" and his subsequent battle with his record label. Giving viewers a first-person account of this dramatic period, it reveals how Michael became one of the most influential recording artists of all time, someone who fought for all artists by challenging the standard recording contract and helped to rewrite the rules of the music industry. Narrated by the late Michael himself, the film features interviews with some of his most famous friends and music legends, including Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Ricky Gervais, Nile Rogers, Mark Ronson, Tracey Emin, Liam Gallagher, Mary J. Blige, Jean Paul Gaultier, James Corden and Tony Bennett. The event will also include the iconic, David Fincher-directed "Freedom! '90" music video, remastered in 4K.
