The Fresh Prince of Nowhere
2 Reviews
25 years ago, a biographical documentary on Will Smith was crafted, completed, and concealed. Today, just one VHS copy remains. Originally titled The Fresh Prince of Everywhere, this vandalised tape now goes as The Fresh Prince of Nowhere - and where it picked up its new name, no one knows. Seemingly resonating with an uncanny relevance to the present day, the documentary is an eerie yet meaningful lesson in love, fame and failure. In 2024, the world knows a different Will Smith to the one we knew on the cusp of the millennium. But the story of this VHS tape is a timeless reflection on the cycles of triumph, adversity, and the cost of fame.
