Storyline
In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he
wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off
shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office.
Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail,
Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which
have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael
Petersen, the boy, faded away and 'Charles Bronson,' his superstar alter
ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson - a scathing
indictment of celebrity culture.
