Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling

A dramatic behind-the-scenes look at show business, Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling stars Richard Pryor as a well-known comedian at the peak of his popularity and the bottom rung of his self-esteem.

Jo Jo has it all - Hollywood stardom, movie roles, platinum records. But the price he pays for fame and fortune is too great. He buckles under the pressures of success and suffers a life-threatening accident.

Forced to examine his life, the film follows Jo Jo´s compelling past through four decades - from his upbringing in a brothel, to classic comedy performances in cellar nightclubs, to ultimate stardom as a rowdy, irreverent comic. This film marks Pryor´s directing debut with his personal vision of one man´s odyssey of triumph and tragedy.
