Often regarded as the 'Father of American ballet', George Balanchine's legacy lives on in his prolific body of choreographic work. Creating over 450 works, Balanchine is wildly considered to be the foremost contemporary choreographer of the 20th century. Through rare archival audio and video footage, interviews, film, and photographs, this film traces Balanchine's life from his youth at the Mariinsky Theater, through his work for Hollywood and Broadway, to his ultimate creation of the renowned New York City Ballet. This is a fascinating documentary about this great choreographer.
