MICHAEL DOUGLAS, THE PRODIGAL SON by Amine Mestari
A production of Arte France and Folamour Productions, with the support of Ciné+.
This special documentary shows us how Michael, an actor and producer like his father Kirk, had to embrace their resemblance throughout his remarkable career in order to assert his difference. The time to learn how to become Michael when your name is Douglas.
Thanks to Arte, Ciné+ and Folamour.
