There is a new documentary exploring the life and career of David Prowse heading to cinemas in December 2019.  UK based film distributor Quantum Digital has secured a cinema release across multiple territories for a new feature-length independent documentary exploring the life and career of David Prowse, the British actor who famously portrayed Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy. The film is titled LIGHT SIDE: A JOURNEY WITH DAVID PROWSE.

Taking a new and different approach to how it explores the actor’s career path, the film aims to appeal to art house audiences as well as Star Wars fans. Besides playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy – the most famous screen villain in the history of cinema – Prowse was also in Stanley’s Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange and trained Christopher Reeve for 1978’s Superman, and was awarded an MBE by the Queen at Buckingham Palace in 2000, all of which he talks about.
