- Overview
- Rupert Russell sets out on a tragicomic journey to discover who his enigmatic father Ken really was: the dad and the director, the art and the artist, the myth and the man, the accolades and the absurdity. Unseen family archives, hundreds of personal letters, thousands of photographs, and several home movies – not to mention Russell senior’s own autobiographical docudrama 'A British Picture', in which Ken played his own antagonists and Rupert, aged four, played the young Ken.
