Director Alex Winter and his team have crafted a documentary from over a thousand hours of from Zappa’s personal vault. Made with the approval and cooperation of the Zappa estate and narrated by Zappa’s own words, Zappa is an expansive and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and genuinely maverick musician/artist who was also fully engaged with the turbulent politics of his day. Zappa charts the late icon’s career as a self-taught teenaged musician with a taste for the avant-garde to his pioneering Mothers of Invention and his many musical left turns, as well as his censorship battle with the Parents Music Resource Center and the productive years prior to his death.
