Tupac Shakur Reinterpreted

Since his death there has been much speculation and conspiracy theories that cast the opinion that his murder was part of the escalating rivalry between east and west coast gangs. Many people believe that he was part of a violent conflict, which also claimed the life of Biggie Smalls (AKA Notorious B.I.G) in a retaliation killing, six months later.

Nick Broomfields highly praised and controversial documentary Biggie & Tupac (2002) investigates the deaths of rap music's premiere 90s talents, including an interview with Suge Knight, the incarcerated head of Death Row Records (Tupac's label when he was murdered). Tupac Resurrenction (2004), released by Amaru Entertainment - part of the foundation created by his mother, Afeni Shakur - uses archive visuals and audio interview allow Tupac to tell his own life story in his own words. Also screening is the hugely popular documentary Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel (2002), directed by Academy Award nominee Peter Spirer. The film offers an intimate insight of Tupac, including footage of the artist as a 17 year old on the brink of success (previously unseen until the film's release) and interviews with close friends and collaborators.
