Thug Angel

Much has been written and filmed concerning the tragic and violent death of one of hip-hop's most influential artists, Tupac Shakur. The rapper-actor, who proclaimed himself a "thug," had a visceral urgency and passion in his talent which attracted millions of fans. THUG ANGEL stands out among the numerous documentaries about Tupac because of its inclusion of previously unseen footage including that of Tupac at age 17. Directed by the Oscar-nominated Peter Spirer, the film includes long interviews with friends and colleagues including Snoop Doggy Dogg and Suge Knight.
