Charles Mingus: Triumph of the Underdog plot

"A thorough, poignant profile of jazz legend Charlie Mingus."

In this documentary, Charles Mingus' soul is uncovered through archival footage and countless interviews with both his ex-wives, former bandmates and friends. We get a clear picture of how Mingus threw off his classical education and developed a jazz style all of his own.
