Directed by Mark Ford, Biggie: The Life of Notorious B.I.G. is the first biography to be authorised by his estate and claims to be the most personal and revealing documentary about the late Christopher Wallace that anyone has ever seen.
It provides interviews with those closest to him including his widow Faith Evans, his mother Voletta Wallace, his close friend Lil Cease and members of Junior Mafia as well as cultural icons Sean "Diddy" Combs, Shawn "Jay Z" Carter and Nas.
Twenty years after his death, this intimate documentary also focuses on Faith Evans as she embarks on an emotional journey to reconcile her own turbulent memories.
In addition, the special explores the people and places that shaped his life including his youth hustling on the streets of Brooklyn, NY, his rise to fame with his confidante and collaborator Sean "Diddy" Combs, his relationships with Faith Evans and Lil' Kim, his feud with Tupac Shakur, and his shocking murder on the streets of Los Angeles.
