ABOUT THE HONOREE
Can't Stop Won't Stop – Directed by Daniel Kaufman and produced by Sean Combs and Heather Parry, the film is a raw and exclusive look behind the scenes at the history and legacy of Bad Boy through a complex portrait of the label's mastermind, Combs, as he tries to reunite his Bad Boy Family during a frantic three-week rehearsal period. As the biggest names from Bad Boy's history prepare to celebrate the label's 20th anniversary, the film traces the label's emergence in Harlem and Brooklyn, follows its meteoric rise, explores the tragic death of Biggie Smalls, and celebrates Bad Boy's influence in reshaping music, fashion, marketing and culture — all while revealing the love and commitment that formed the bonds between the Bad Boy family. The film culminates with the May 2016 performances at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn when iconic artists Puff Daddy, Lil' Kim, Mase, Faith Evans, Mario Winans, 112, Total, Carl Thomas, and The Lox performed hit after hit to a sold-out audience.
