Clint Eastwood: The Cost Behind the Icon

He is one of the most recognizable human beings in the history of cinema - but the version of Clint Eastwood the world thinks it knows is only part of the story. This documentary biography explores the gap between the icon and the man: the discipline, the contradictions, the personal costs, and the creative intelligence behind more than six decades of sustained relevance. From the Depression-era childhood and early Hollywood rejection, through the spaghetti Westerns that made him a myth, to the directorial career that surprised even his admirers - and the films like Unforgiven and Gran Torino that quietly dismantled the image he had spent years building - this is the Clint Eastwood that the cool exterior was never designed to show you.
