Part road movie, part living biography, part documentary, Paul Anka: His Way is a remarkably candid film, offering an intimate look at one of the most prolific artists in music history and his seventy-year journey through stardom. The film goes behind-the-scenes with Paul Anka today as he continues to perform in sold-out concert venues around the world, cut against stunning archival footage of his historic career and including performances by the legendary artists who have recorded his music like Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Tom Jones, Sammy Davis, Jr., Linda Ronstadt, Michael Jackson, Drake and more. A master of reinvention, Anka engages with all genres of music, from quietly penning the theme to “The Tonight Show” to surprise posthumous hits with Michael Jackson, and even a swing reworking of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

A Q&A with the filmmakers follows the film.
