George Michael Freedom Uncut coming to cinemas this June

Sony Music Entertainment and Trafalgar Releasing today announced the premiere of George Michael Freedom Uncut, a deeply autobiographical feature documentary narrated by the late Grammy Award winner.

George Michael Freedom Uncut will be released as a global cinema event on Wednesday, June 22^nd. Details of participating countries and cinemas will be listed here from April 27^th.

Throughout the film, Michael reveals openly and honestly the two distinct sides of his life: his very public music career and his private personal life that cameras never truly saw. Michael was heavily involved in and dedicated to the making of this documentary before his tragic passing in 2016.

The film delves into the turbulent period after Faith leading up to, during and after the making of his Listen Without Prejudice: Vol 1 album in 1990.

Interwoven with exclusive, personal archival footage, this year’s theatrical release includes never-seen-before footage from the video for Freedom! ’90, directed by David Fincher. The music video has been recently remastered in 4K and will screen in full ahead of the main feature in cinemas worldwide.
