Summary:

The legendary performer and iconic social satirist transcended race and social barriers by delivering his honest irreverent and biting humor to America's stages and living rooms until his death at 65. Featuring an iconic comedic cast of historians, activists and artists who provide a unique brushstroke into the complex world of Pryor, the film dives deeply into the psyche of a comedic genius whose mother was a prostitute, father a pimp, and grandmother a madam.
