Biggie and Tupac

The hit of the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, "Biggie & Tupac" investigates the still unsolved murders of rap superstars Christopher Wallace (a.k.a. Biggie Smalls, The Notorious B.I.G.) and Tupac Shakur. The story of two close friends who had a misunderstanding, a falling out and then became deadly enemies. Their respective murders have long been explained as the result of the rivalry that had grown between them, but as award-winning British documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield ("Kurt and Courtney") reveals, startling new evidence suggests that the blame belongs elsewhere. "Biggie & Tupac" uncovers evidence that each shooting was more than just a by-product of the mid-nineties East Coast/West Coast Rap Wars, and suggests a much wider conspiracy involving the LAPD, the FBI and Death Row Records' boss, the imposing Suge Knight.
