David Bowie: Finding Fame - a doccie focusing on the years up to Ziggy Stardust and Bowie's missteps along the way. Interesting to know about those earlier years when he was finding out about himself. He made some huge errors in judgement but just ploughed on, reinventing himself. He was never going to have a humdrum existence, no matter what, and several times mentions the need to escape, to get out of suburbia - he had an absolute horror of leading a small, banal life. Well - he didn't did he? A single-minded individual, largely shaped by his very early years, as are we all.
