We’ve just heard that music documentary George Michael Freedom Uncut is set to come to digital ‘to own’ from 25th July. This follows a one-nigh-only engagement in cinemas just recently.
The film is a reminder of Michael’s outstanding musical genius during the Wham! years and throughout his solo career. The film features timeless duets with George’s favourite artists and explores how he influenced the cultural landscape of his generation as one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time.
The film delves into the turbulent period after Michael’s album “Faith” leading up to, during and after the making of his “Listen Without Prejudice: Vol 1” album in 1990. At this pivotal period of his life, Michael is able to fight for his artistic freedom and lead the way for others. He meets his first real love, Anselmo Feleppa and navigates both the heartbreak of Anselmo’s early tragic passing and the devastating loss of his mother.
The synopsis is as follows:
George Michael Freedom Uncut focuses on the formative period in the late Grammy Award winner’s life and career, leading up to and following the making of his acclaimed, best-selling album “Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1” and his subsequent, infamous High Court battle with his record label that followed. Filmed before Michael’s untimely passing, the documentary is narrated by the singer, who was heavily involved in the making of the film that serves as his final work. The film is being released in meticulous 4K resolution with 18 minutes of never-before-seen additional footage.
