Overview

• The documentary kicked off with a surprise appearance by Eminem at its August 6 New York premiere on The Rooftop at Pier 17 and now opens at select AMC Theatres for a four-day limited run.
• Curated from more than 9,000 global submissions, the film profiles 20 handpicked superfans and deliberately keeps Eminem apart from interviewees to preserve authentic fan perspectives.
• Interwoven interviews feature Eminem’s candid reflections on his 2007 near-fatal overdose, his path to sobriety and the guilt he felt after missing daughter Hailie’s early milestones.
• A harrowing mall encounter with Hailie underscores the personal risks of fame and helped prompt the rapper’s decision to lower his guard for the documentary.
• Directed by Steven Leckart and produced by Paul Rosenberg alongside Shady Films, Interscope, DIGA Studios and Hill District Media, the decade-long project reexamines the term’s journey from a 2000 cautionary tale to a global fandom phenomenon.
