Description
“Sammy Davis, Jr.: I've Gotta Be Me” is the first major film documentary to examine Davis' vast talent and his journey for identity through the shifting tides of civil rights and racial progress during 20th-century America. With never-before-seen photographs from Davis' vast personal collection and excerpts from his electric performances in television, film and concert, “Sammy Davis, Jr.: I've Gotta Be Me” explores the life and art of a uniquely gifted entertainer whose trajectory blazed across the major flashpoints of American society from the Depression through the 1980s.
