This episode is locked. New translations may be added.

At the end of the 1970s a nervy young musician topped the music charts and quickly became one of the most famous men on the planet. Three decades of groundbreaking and hugely influential music followed, then came six long years of silence. This documentary follows the godfather of electronic music on a one-way trip to crack America, break into Hollywood and return to the studio for the first time in nearly a decade. It is also an intimate story of love and second chances for Numan, wife Gemma and their family as they set up home in Los Angeles. Full of humour and candid moments, the film explores the many contradictions and misconceptions that have cropped up in Numan's life. A revealing portrait that uncovers the human side of one of Britain's most iconic and fascinating musicians.
