Narrated by Christian himself as he acts\, sings and speaks the story of his remarkable life in filmed cabaret performances across New York and London. Revealing interviews and rare archival footage of his most celebrated ballets also place Christian at the center of important social and political issues such as racism\, the AIDS crisis\, and antiwar protests.
