Featuring Roman Polanski, Jackie Stewart. Produced in 2012. Original film produced in 1971. Includes trailer.
Summary:
In 1971, Roman Polanski spent a weekend with world champion driver Jackie Stewart as he attempted to win the Monaco Grand Prix. Polanski was given intimate access to Stewart's world for three days, both on the track and off. Weekend of a Champion gives an extraordinarily rare glimpse into the life of a gifted athlete at the height of his powers. Polanski and Stewart revisit the film and look back with both nostalgia and the temperance of time. Includes original 1971 film and features a newly-filmed postscript.
