                                   A cultural force for over 50 years, David Crosby faced an uncertain future after the 2015
                                   dissolution of Crosby, Stills and Nash. Racked with health issues and personal obstacles,
                                   Crosby forged a new path at the age of 76. Seeking out younger musicians and recording
                                   a pair of critically-praised new albums, Crosby now sets out to make a mark in a world

                                   You thought you knew him. Meet David Crosby now in this portrait of a man still tilting
