Legendary drummer Ginger Baker (Cream) was as well known for his monstrous rock ’n’ roll behaviour as he was for his skin-pounding. Jay Bulger’s rollicking and frequently hilarious encounter with the South Africa-based crazy man—Baker cracks a cane across the bridge of Bulger’s nose in the first scene—shows that Baker’s ferocity has not dimmed one bit. Featuring interviews with Stewart Copeland, Charlie Watts, Neil Peart, Lars Ulrich and others. Winner, Grand Jury Prize (Documentary), SXSW 2012.
