The name of Paul Newman is immediately associated with luminous azure blue eyes. But behind this irresistible gaze, was a committed and sensitive man. The actor, known to the world for his good looks, was in fact a tireless spokesperson for tolerance and respect. He became involved in defending gay rights, as well as opposing American interventionism by openly denouncing the Nixon government's propaganda machine. The death of his own son from an overdose led to the establishment of the Scott-Newman Foundation to help young people break free from drug and alcohol abuse. This film will unravel the superficial glamour surrounding Newman to show the depth of the man who hid behind the magnetism of his gaze. (Mediawan)
