It would be an exaggeration to say that Nick Broomfield solved the murders of Biggie and Tupac. Nonetheless, he makes a convincing case as to who the perpetrators were and why they weren't brought to justice. Broomfield (Kurt and Courtney), who narrates and appears on camera, comes across like a scruffy Robin Leach, but he's done his homework and sniffs out the clues with the tenacity of a bloodhound. Time and again, he refuses to be intimidated--even when his life appears to be at stake. Fortunately, he was able to convince Voletta Wallace, beloved mother of Biggie Smalls (a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G.), to cooperate, and that opened many doors. Unfortunately, Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother, refused to participate or to allow access to his music. She had nothing to fear. Broomfield is fair to both rappers, although the soundtrack is all-Biggie. Easily one of the most fascinating documentaries of 2002. From the back cover One of the most explosive and controversial films of the year, Biggie & Tupac is a no-holds-barred investigation into the still-unsolved murders of two of the biggest superstars rap has ever produced. Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls (the Notorious B.I.G.) and Tupac Shakur. Answering the crusading calls for justice from Biggie's mother Voletta, acclaimed director Nick Broomfield (Heidi Fleiss Hollywood Madam and Kurt & Courtney) hits the streets from East Coast to West Coast, putting his own life at risk as he uncovers sensational new evidence that points directly to the perpertrators of these violent slayings that shocked the hip hop world. Provocative, uncompromising, and unbelievably hard-hitting, Biggie & Tupac is more than just a movie; it's a revelation.
