Eric Clapton - Life in 12 Bars (15)

Eric Clapton is an 18-time Grammy Award winner and widely renowned as one of the greatest performers of all time. But behind the scenes is restlessness and tragedy.

Told through his own words, this powerful documentary reflects on his traumatic childhood, his difficult struggle with drugs and alcohol, the loss of his son and how he always found his inner strength and healing in music. It features extensive interviews with Clapton himself, along with his family, friends, musical collaborators, contemporaries and heroes – including late music icons B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and George Harrison. Life in 12 Bars is a moving, revealing and surprising film about one of the great artists of the modern era.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with Eric Clapton and director Lili Fini Zanuck, recorded at the BFI Southbank after the film's premiere.
