Ten photographs are taken from the lives of the world's most beloved icons. What do these images reveal? And what secrets do they hide? In self-contained episodes, the series gets under the skin of Freddie Mercury, Muhammad Ali, Amy Winehouse, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon and Tupac Shakur. These are stories of real people becoming themselves, full of messiness and contradiction - revealed through forensic storytelling and intimate interviews with the people who knew them, whether for life or just one intense afternoon.
