Much of Piaf’s genuine passion in performance stemmed from the roots of her childhood and the challenges she faced in life.

Piaf: The Documentary charts this story with rare interviews, footage of Piaf herself including home movies and an excerpt from Jean Cocteau’s Le Bel
Indifferent in 1940, as well as an extraordinary interview from the time of her manager’s tragic murder in 1936.
