Kopple screens Tyson doc
- by Raphaela Neihausen, April 08, 2009
On April 7, Barbara Kopple made a special appearance at STF to screen her rarely seen documentary FALLEN CHAMP: THE UNTOLD STORY OF MIKE TYSON that originally appeared on NBC in 1993. She was joined for the Q&A by her collaborators Richard Stratton, Bill Davis and Leon Gast (who visited STF last year with his film WHEN WE WERE KINGS). This special screening brought out a number of prominent film journalists who were curious to screen this film in juxtaposition to James Toback’s forthcoming documentary TYSON (being released in theaters later this month).
