R. Kelly has made a name for himself by combining sexually explicit lyrics with some sharp R&B/hip-hop beats. With a formidable reputation as a songwriter (he has penned tracks for artists including Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, and Mary J. Blige), Kelly seemed to have the world at his feet until the double-whammy of a rape trial and child pornography allegations almost brought his career to an abrupt halt. This documentary highlights the fascinating ups and downs of R. Kelly's life and career. No original music by the artist is included on this release.
