This star-studded tribute focuses on a dazzling and complex period in Liza Minnelli’s life, beginning in the 1970s, in the aftermath of the tragic death of her mother, Judy Garland, as she navigates a series of personal and professional challenges on her path to becoming a true legend. Throughout her years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With insightful participation from a coterie of peers including Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, and the late Chita Rivera, along with a revealing appearance by the star herself, the film illuminates the contradictions that were Liza Minnelli: her privilege and her struggle, her strength and vulnerability, her unrealistic expectations and her towering talent, the frictions of which fueled her extraordinary rise, her resilience, and her enduring place as one of the greatest and most original performers in the history of entertainment.
