Trama
Con il sostegno di oltre 10.000 appassionati devoti di Zappa, finalmente è arrivato il tanto atteso progetto documentario di Alex Winter, che offre una visione definitiva sulla vita e la carriera dell'enigmatica e rivoluzionaria rock star Frank Zappa. Alex ha impiegato migliaia di ore di materiale video, fotografie, registrazioni audio, scritti e altro ancora, accuratamente digitalizzati dagli archivi privati di Zappa, per creare questa straordinaria opera. Queste cronache, mai rese disponibili al pubblico in precedenza, trovano finalmente la loro voce.
