Directed by Jorge Hinojosa. Viewers will be enthralled by the tumultuous life of Iceberg Slim (1918-1992) and how he reinvented himself from pimp to author of seven groundbreaking books. His books were the birth of Street Lit. They explored the world of the ghetto in gritty and poetic detail and made Iceberg Slim a cultural icon. The film is a complex confessional portrait of pathology and redemption. This story does full justice to how the “sensation of controlling people” can make a person whose soul is in the gutter feel like God. ‘ Interviews with Iceberg Slim, Chris Rock, Henry Rollins, Ice-T, Quincy Jones, and Snoop Dogg amongst others.
