Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe

In the organizer's words:

Andrea Bocelli, one of the world's greatest singers, has a voice that transcends genres and generations. In this intimate portrait of the celebrated Italian tenor Bocelli, he tells his story in his own words for the first time. Documentary filmmaker Cosima Spender accompanies Bocelli with unprecedented access beyond the boundaries of the stage. She reveals an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for life. Despite losing his sight at the age of 12, Bocelli has dedicated his life to music, and after years of entertaining patrons in piano bars, he caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, who had heard Bocelli's voice on a demo tape. With the huge worldwide hit "Time to Say Goodbye", his magnificent duet with Sarah Brightman, Bocelli's life took a dramatic turn - he suddenly became a superstar. Thanks to his hard-earned vocal mastery and his decades-long love of opera - the "heaven of music" - Bocelli made the leap to the world's most prestigious stages, where he has performed with singing partners as diverse as Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez and Dua Lipa. With interviews, archive footage of performances and informal meetings with family and friends, "Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe" pays tribute to Bocelli's voice and the man himself, who continues to touch the hearts of millions of admirers around the world.
