“I spent a lot of money on boo-
ze, birds and fast cars. The rest I
just squandered”. So wrote Geor-
ge Best (1946-2005), one of the
greatest football players to have
ever graced the world stage and
the forerunner of the rock star
persona in football. His only son,
Calum Best, has indulged in many
of his famous father’s excesses,
but being famous thanks to a man
he barely knew, gradually became
unbearable. Calum decided to em-
bark on a road-trip to discover who
his father really was through the
people who had known him. This
film is the story of a son searching
for a father. A very famous father,
of whom we all know everything,
but who failed to show his true
side to his only son.

2017 will mark a century from
the recording of what is histori-
cally considered the first Jazz re-
cord, but very few know that it
was recorded by Nick La Rocca,
a Sicilian emigrant to New Or-
leans. It sold a million and half
copies! Featuring interviews to
American music critics, historians
and archivists, as well as amazing
archive picturing New Orleans at
the beginning of the century, Sicily
Jass tells that incredible story.
