Released in 2000, Eminem's song "Stan" -- about an obsessive, unstable fan -- remains iconic. So iconic that the term stan was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017. The song and its storyline serves as a guiding light for this unconventional and fully authorised feature, which follows a cast of real-life 'stans' whose deep personal connections to Eminem mirror some of the many themes found throughout his lyrics.
More than just an exploration of fandom, the film examines the complicated relationship between one of the world's most private artists and his massive public persona. Through stylized recreations, rare archival footage, and intimate original interviews, it offers a raw, loud, and revealing journey across Eminem's career -- and the passionate audience that has grown with him.
The film delves deep into the emotional and transformative connection between Eminem and some of the superfans whose lives have been shaped by his music.
