Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon

The incredible story of a Hollywood giant: Fresh out of college, with acid and weed in his pocket, Shep Gordon arrives at a Los Angeles motel in the '60s. Here he meets Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. The encounter is the beginning of his career. Shep becomes manager of rock stars like Alice Cooper, Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass and Pink Floyd. Mike Myers' (Wayne's World, Austin Powers) directorial debut is a surprisingly affectionate and inspiring portrait of Shep Gordon.
