Tyson
The man. The legend. The truth.
Directed by James Toback
Produced by Wild Bunch, Green Room Films
An intimate, unflinching first-person portrait of a complex, troubled champion grappling with his own contradictions and legacy.
Director James Toback takes an unflinching, uncompromising look at the life of Mike Tyson--almost solely from the perspective of the man himself. TYSON alternates between the controversial boxer addressing the camera and shots of the champion's fights to create an arresting picture of the man.
