“We were born in Liverpool but grew up in Hamburg”, John Lennon once said. This feature documentary seeks to find the truth in those words. The long and winding road that the Beatles took to worldwide fame passed through Hamburg, Germany in the early 1960s. Only a couple of years before they became household names, the former Quarrymen were cutting their musical teeth on nightclub stages in the city. Hamburg had become the vice capital of Europe after World War Two, its neon-lit streets home to sailors, sex workers, drug dealers, gangs and low life. Meanwhile, the English band was still developing, still young and virtually unknown. By the time of their last German visit in 1966, the Beatles were an international phenomenon. 'No Hamburg, No Beatles' explains how learning their trade in this fascinating city helped propel them to global stardom.

Tupac transformed rap from a simple street trend into an elite art form. He laid the foundation for the present iteration of the hip-hop movement and continued its evolution as a poet whose tales of alienation captivated young people of all races and backgrounds. From the beginning, he was aware of his very short window of time to live and his desire to create a body of work. He was always writing, always making something, and always in the studio. Even in prison, he was writing a screenplay. Knowing that he would not be on this earth for any length of time, he came with a specific purpose - contradictions, complexities and all - and he left behind something that has touched a generation of people. How he died has never been resolved. The exact details of Tupac's death might never be proved beyond a reasonable doubt in court, given that most of the key players are currently either dead or serving lengthy prison terms. However, that won't stop people from seeking answers.
