Self
STILL BILL es un retrato íntimo de la leyenda del soul Bill Withers, mejor conocido por sus clásicos "Ain’t No Sunshine", "Lean On Me", "Lovely Day", "Grandma's Hands" y "Just the Two of Us". Con su entrega conmovedora y su sinceridad cálida y sincera, Withers ha escrito las canciones que han resonado, y siempre lo harán, profundamente en el tejido de nuestro tiempo. Los cineastas Damani Baker y Alex Vlack siguen a Withers y ofrecen una mirada única y poco común dentro del mundo de este fascinante hombre. A través de imágenes de conciertos, viajes a su lugar de nacimiento, entrevistas con leyendas de la música, su familia y amigos más cercanos, STILL BILL presenta la historia de un artista que ha escrito algunas de las canciones más queridas de nuestro tiempo y que realmente comprende el corazón y el alma de un hombre.
