Premiered to critical acclaim at SXSW London, the film dives deep into the phenomenon he ironically helped name with his 2000 track “Stan,” telling the stories of his most devoted—and sometimes obsessive—fans.

On Instagram, Eminem personally promoted the film, calling it “for the Stans, by the Stans.” He had, back in April, put out a call to his most dedicated fans to be a part of this project, and the result is being billed as revealing and boldly personal.
