Piecing together home movies, clips, and interviews, Julien (Looking for Langston, Young Soul Rebels) creates a touching portrait of Derek Jarman. As a fighter for gay liberation and for the rights of people with AIDS, the disease to which he succumbed in 1994, Jarman made films that were not just artful, but also politically and socially engaged. Actress Tilda Swinton, his confidante and star of many of his films, guides viewers through Derek, highlighting the artistic rigor of his work and its effect on the British film community. 2008, video, 76 minutes.
