Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars

About

This documentary film covers Clapton’s early childhood, including the trauma of his mother leaving him to be raised by his grandparents, and his career, which consisted of “a single-minded mission to raise the profile of the blues in popular culture”. The film does not shy away from Clapton’s tragedies, including his infatuation with Patti Boyd, then the wife of his best friend George Harrison, his struggles with drugs and alcoholism, and the death of his four-year old son Conor.
