Often regarded as the "Father of American ballet," George Balanchine's legacy lives on in his prolific body of choreographic work. Creating over 450 works, Balanchine is widely considered to be the foremost contemporary choreographer of the 20th century. Through rare archival audio and video footage, interviews, film, and photographs, this film traces Balanchine's life from his youth at the Mariinsky Theater, through his work for Hollywood and Broadway, to his ultimate creation of the renowned New York City Ballet. It also focuses on the themes of his work and his thoughts on dance, using interviews with the choreographer himself.

Features selections of his vast repertory of ballets, including Chaconne, Agon, Symphony in C, Serenade, Apollo, and A Midsummer Night's Dream, among others.
