On Saturday February 25 at 9 PM ET/PT, VH1 will premiere its first reality tv documentary under the "VH1 Rock doc" umbrella, DMC: MY ADOPTION JOURNEY.
Five years ago, hip-hop pioneer and Run-DMC co-founder Darryl McDaniels made a startling discovery: he found out he was adopted. Suddenly everything he thought he knew about himself was wrong. The revelation occurred as DMC was experiencing a spiritual awakening Ð a transformation, as he says, from ´B-Boy´ to ´B-Man.´ Now DMC takes the next logical step in his journey of self-discovery: he attempts to track down the family he never knew he had.
"VH1 Rock Docs" is a slate of high end feature lengths programs, revealing untold stories in the history of rock and hip-hop music, while combining never-before-seen footage with a unique and unconventional narrative approach. The documentaries will tell some of the most unique stories of the artists and music from a wide range of genres, styles, and musical perspectives. The "VH1 Rock Docs" slated for premiere in 2006 include "The U.S. vs. John Lennon," "The Last Days of Lisa Lopes," "DMC: My Adoption Journey", and a four-hour definitive history of heavy metal. Additional documentaries will be announced shortly.
