Biggie and Tupac
- Rating:
- Director: Nick Broomfield
- Starring: Tupac Shakur
- Details: US / 108 mins (15PG).
Documentary maker Broomfield (Kurt and Courtney) investigates the drive-by deaths of the eponymous rappers (and erstwhile friends) and suggests that the official story might not cover all the bases. As a documentary, it's uneven and subjective, but you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to enjoy this one.
