In 1993, nine young men - Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, RZA, GZA, Ghostface Killah, UGod, Inspectah Deck an Masta Killa -- emerged from the Staten Island projects to form one of the most
successful rap groups of all time: The Wu-Tang Clan. For over a decade, they operated as a fluid
alliance of exceptionally talented MCs, establishing themselves as one of the most significant musical
collectives of the era, as well as individual artists who challenged convention with thought-provoking lyrics
and beats. The Wu-Tang Clan went on to sell more than 20 million albums and become the original global
hip hop franchise, lending their talent and name to music, comic books, clothes, online games and more.
The ambition, talent and innovative spirit that drove The Wu-Tang Clan's unique contributions to the hip
hop scene also made its members multi-platinum-selling solo artists and record producers, Grammy
winners, screenwriters, corporate spokespeople, entrepreneurs and motion picture composers. The group
launched the acting careers of Method Man ("The Wire", Garden State, How High) and RZA (American
Gangster) and brought attention to the controversial life and tragic death of Ol' Dirty Bastard. Directed by
Gerald Barclay, this awe-inspiring documentary also features industry notables: Bonz Malone, Popa Wu,
Bobito Garcia, Ralph McDaniels, Gano Grills and 3rd Rail.
Wu: The Story of The Wu-Tang Clan was named Best Documentary at the 2007 Hip Hop Odyssey Film
Festival and was an Official Selection at the London Black Film Festival, the American Black Film
Festival, the Pan African Film Festival and the Sao Paulo International Film Festival. Billboard magazine
will host a special screening of Wu: The Story of The Wu-Tang Clan at this year's UrbanWorld Film
Festival on September 12. Additionally, the documentary will have its broadcast premiere on BET on
Thursday, November 13, 2008.
