The doc telegraphs his powerful 30-year career from its unlikely origins inside the punk/queer squats of Brixton in the late 1970s to the world's most significant museums like the Tate Modern in the 21st century. The unprecedented use of his own blood in live performance is just one of many radical and groundbreaking tropes that have defined Franko's work -- work that is founded on pushing the physical and emotional limits of himself, his audience, the art world, and the culture-at-large.
