To mark the recent thirtieth anniversary of Sergio Leone’s death, this documentary sets out to pay tribute to one of the great legends of world cinema. The singular artistic vision of Sergio Leone has transcended national borders, creating the Spaghetti Western genre and transforming the international cinematic panorama forever with his innovative stylistic and narrative solutions, which have now become part of the language of the movies. The film, which is enriched with precious archive footage from the Cineteca di Bologna, including rare audio recordings and film clips shot behind the scenes, sees for the first time the direct participation of the Leone family and has interviews both with Leone’s longtime collaborators and with icons of Hollywood who have been profoundly influenced by his work.

Epopea straordinaria di Oscar Micheaux, un uomo di cui si conservano appena 4 fotografie e una decina degli oltre 40 film girati, ma di cui è arrivato il momento di riscoprire l'unicità. Per farlo, il film si avventura nei luoghi della sua vita, dall’Illinois rurale all’effervescente Chicago d'inizio ‘900, dalle pianure del South Dakota alla Harlem del jazz. A dar voce alle incredibili sfide di Micheaux, studiosi ed eredi del suo cinema come John Singleton e Kevin Willmott o icone della cultura e della musica popolare afro-americana come Chuck D, leggendario cantante dei Public Enemy.
