SAMMY BY SAMMY
Documentary by Aurore Aubin / France / OCS (2022)
A Tale of the 60s... When you're a complete artist, and one of the biggest international stars of the 60s like Sammy Davis, Jr., what's left to conquer? The freedom to be an American role model and a reference for all African Americans. The challenge is immense: he's "Black-Jewish-one-eyed-of Puerto Rican descent" in a completely unequal society. However, a film buff and movie addict since his earliest years, he draws his strength, energy, and creativity from the films he watches. He will stage his life like a Hollywood epic. His means of achieving this are simple: he will rely on the fact that he is a complete artist who can do anything, play any role, whatever the medium. Film, television, music, stage...
