Black Audio Film’s final video-essay explored the Faustian drama of 26 year old Tupac Shakur, the charismatic hiphop MC and actor whose unsolved murder transformed a brief career into posthumous legend. Through Tupac, George fashions a fascinating and complex meditation on the legacies of revolutionary nationalism, the notion of destructive character and the intensity of a life lived as death wish.
