A Beautiful and Captivating tribute to the Icon of the 80s. I Am Patrick Swayze is a feature documentary film exploring the 1980s most recognisable leading man, who challenged Hollywood's very notions of masculinity and redefined what it meant to be the Sexiest Man Alive. Featuring never-before-seen home videos, photographs and original interviews with those who knew Patrick Swayze best including the illustrious co-stars of his biggest films this documentary dives beyond his status as a sex-symbol to reveal the complexities of an often misunderstood movie star. From his ferocious drive, to his most iconic roles and off-camera battles with alcohol and cancer, Patrick's family, friends and collaborators reflect on the life and legacy of the man they endearingly called ˜Buddy'. Whether he was leading a pack of ˜outsiders', performing acrobatics 10,000 feet in the air, strutting in full drag, or sweeping women, literally, off their feet, he approached every role with vulnerability and fearlessness. I AM Patrick Swayze channels the same tenderness and strength that defined not only Patrick's beloved characters, but the remarkable man he was a man who was born to be either a Texan cowboy, prolific dancer, all-star athlete or a true artist, who instead decided to be all of them. I Am Patrick Swayze features an all-star cast including co-stars Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Sam Elliott, Jennifer Grey, C. Thomas Howell, Marshall R. Teague, Kelly Lynch and Lori Petty, his family, including Patrick's widow, Lisa Niemi, and brother, Don Swayze, choreographer George de la Pena, director Roland Joffe, agent Nicole David, manager Kate Edwards, personal assistant Rosemary Hygate, stuntman Cliff McLaughlin, and bodyguard Frank Whiteley.
