Tupac Shakur was one of hip hop's most notorious and controversial icons.
His untimely death at the age twenty-five sent shockwaves through the music world.
In Tupac Shakur: Before I Wake, the events of his final tumultuous year,
including his murder, are told through the eyes of the man who saw it all: Tupac's
personal bodyguard, Frank Alexander.
In late 1995, with his fame on the rise and his life becomes increasingly more dangerous,
Tupac Shakur decided to reduce personal security from a rotation of four men to one: ex-marine
and competitive bodybuilder, Frank Alexander. In the course of this dangerous assignment,
Alexander forged a close and unshakable bond with Shakur. Through interviews with rap legends
Eric "Easy-E" Wright and Russell Simmons and incredible never-before-seen footage, including
the recording sessions for his album "Until the End of Time", Alexander shows us a Tupac capable
of grand gestures and great compassion, even as an increasing sense of danger and doom enveloped him.
This is Tupac, up close and personal, as you've never seen him before.
