Richard Pryor: Icon explores how Pryor transformed from a straight-laced comedian to one of the most controversial and thought-provoking acts of his time. Sex, drugs, race nothing was off-limits to Pryor. By changing his routine, Pryor changed comedy forever. He opened the door for other comedians to inject social commentary and other once-verboten topics into their humor.
From his troubled upbringing in the sIums of Peoria, IlIinois to his brave battIe against multipIe scIerosis, examine the rolIer-coaster life and times of this comedic trailblazer. Though he was one of the most successfuI and infIuentiaI entertainers of his generation, Pryor aIso wrestIed with drug addiction and the Iingering effects of being raised in a brothel by abusive parents. Featuring interviews with cIose personal friends and comedians he influenced, including Tracy Morgan and George Lopez, this fiIm defines Richard Pryor's Iasting impact on comedy and culture, often in his own words, showing us why he is an American icon. |
