Beware of Mr. Baker

Streaming video - 2012

Ginger Baker is the original rock ‘n roll madman-junkie-superstar who everyone thought was dead, but somehow survived 50+ years of drug abuse, disastrous experiments, and four marriages on three continents. His hands and feet narrate this epic quest for rhythmic perfection, always on the forefront of musical experimentation and innovation. This no-holds-barred, moving, and hilarious portrait of the man referred to as rock’s first great drummer (and perhaps still its best) lets him tell his own story, intercut with footage of his continent-hopping life, from London to L.A., Nigeria, Italy, South Africa, and (way) beyond.
