Description:
This documentary follows the life of Wesley Willis, a Chicago artist and musician who passed away at the age of 40. Filmmaker Daniel Bitton chronicles Willis's daily life as he navigates the city, from bus rides and interactions with people to selling his CDs in record stores. Known for his size – 6'6" and over 300 pounds – and his struggles with schizophrenia, Willis was cherished by fans and friends for his unique music, artistic talent, and gentle nature. A survivor of poverty, mental illness, abuse, racism, and obesity, he embodied the power of resilience and creativity. His ability to build a music career and live a full life was remarkable.
