Through candid interviews with Grace Jones, Charlotte Rampling, Isabella Rossellini, Anna Wintour, Claudia Schiffer, Marianne Faithfull, Hanna Schygulla, Nadja Auermann, and Newton's wife June, this documentary captures his legacy and seeks to answer questions about the themes at the core of his life's work – creating provocative and subversive images of women.
