Fallen Champ - The Untold Story of Mike Tyson [VHS]

He was the best loved boxing champion since Muhammad Ali. But Mike Tyson's extraordinary rise to fame was matched by his shocking fall from grace. His controversial story, from juvenile to international hero to convicted rapist, is told here in full. Oscar winning director Barbara Kopple pulls no punches in this unauthorized biography. Through rare footage and exclusive interviews, she explores the legend: young Mike's relationship with his 'half-crazy, half-blind' mentor Gus D'Amato, his phenomenal killer instinct, his tumultuous marriage to actress Robin Givens, his association with Don King and eventual rape charge that brought him down. Fallen Champ: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson speaks with those who know Mike privately and professionally, and goes behind the scenes to craft a fascinating portrait of a man for whom violence was both a job and a way of life.
