Tupac Ressurection Production Notes

"This is my story, a story about ambition, violence, redemption and love." --Tupac Shakur

ABOUT THE STORY

Born in New York City on June 16, 1971, Tupac Amaru Shakur, named after Tupac Amaru, an Inca Indian that was sentenced to death by the Spaniards, meant many things to many people. With an ability to attract individuals from all worlds, the celebrated artist lived his life larger than life, and to this day, his fans are still trying to put together the myriad pieces of his complex universe.

Driven by the music Tupac created and the revolutionary ideas he voiced, director Lauren Lazin explores the very soul of Shakur in "Tupac: Resurrection." By examining the artist's own words and deftly using his own voice, Lazin illuminates Shakur's life, highlighting his highs and lows and delving into the experiences that shaped his message and music.

"When we set out to make this film, we didn't want to do a simple chronological portrait," says Lazin. "We wanted to show the honest, charismatic individual that Tupac was, and reveal how, in his short 25 years on earth, he developed into a person of great insight."
