The Mystery of Kahil El Zabar
by Director Dwayne-Johnson Cochran
Produced by Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance
Be Known is a feature documentary that explores the life and career of one of modern jazz's best kept secrets: Kahil El'Zabar. The film is filled with darkly comic overtones, the film tells the story of a rare artist's trials and tribulations through the eyes of filmmaker and friend, Dwayne Johnson-Cochran. Be Known takes you on a journey to see the other side of genius; the mysterious intersections of creativity and individuality in a world where brand- ing and sameness are the norm. It is in this world, El'Zabar shines. He is a beacon of internal fortitude, ingenuity, and innovation.
