About this movie

Heath Ledger fully inhabited life, leaving not just traces, but laid bare great swaths of himself for an adoring public to ponder. Extravagant in gesture and in action, it was this energy and unshakable willingness to take risks that instilled such an extraordinarily deep love and affection in those people close to him. I Am Heath Ledger depicts an extremely gifted and versatile artist whose talents span a broad array of mediums including acting, producing, directing, screenwriting, photography, painting, poetry, and music. But chief among his greatest allures was his rejection of the trappings and attention of Hollywood along with his attempt to live an ordinary artist's life.
