Vidal Sassoon is more than just a hairdresser - he's a rock star, an artist, a craftsman who 'changed the world with a pair of scissors'. Sassoon revolutionised the art of hairstyling, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture, and proving to be one of the great innovators of our time. Michael Gordon, founder of Bumble and Bumble, documents Sassoon's life in a richly visual portrait - a true rags-to-riches tale, from his early days in an East End orphanage, to helping usher in the social changes of the 60's, to ultimate international success and celebrity. Spanning 80 years of revolution in culture, movie takes a deeply intimate look into the life of this extraordinary man, whose influence far outreaches the industry he changed forever.
