Director Zanuck takes viewers on a journey through the life of renowned 18-time Grammy award winner, Eric Clapton.

Through an archive of performances, home videos, and audio interviews from those who knew him best, a deeper sense of what inspired the legendary musician and his unforgettable work emerges.
