Production: Robert Vroom (National Film Board of Canada)Nathalie Cloutier (National Film Board of Canada)

Script: Tara Johns

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in collaboration with the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Foundation.

The film follows legendary music producer Bob Ezrin struggling to write his memoir. Daunted by pressures of doing justice to a life filled with rock legends, career milestones and family memories, Bob Ezrin turns to Alice Cooper — and his own children — for guidance. Through intimate video chats, playful anecdotes and archival images, it’s clear the true story he has to tell isn't just about star-studded accomplishments, but about the family and love that gave meaning to it all.
