Inventing David Geffen – Documentary

David Geffen’s far-reaching influence – as agent, manager, record industry mogul, Hollywood and Broadway producer, and philanthropist – has helped shape American popular culture for the past four decades. Notoriously press and camera-shy, Geffen reveals himself for the first time.

Of course, being in the music industry for over 3 decades, I was aware of this powerful, enegmatic producer, but just how he got where he did and the risks he took as well as the dedication he gave to his artists is totally engrossing.

A powerful documentary about an icon of the music industry and just how many names owe their success to his hands, is simply astounding. Truly a master of his trade!

Verdict: A fascinating insight into one of the world’s most successful media moguls. ****
