What happens

Wingspan is a 2001 made-for-television documentary film about Paul McCartney's musical career, after The Beatles disbanded, with his second band, Wings. The film was directed by McCartney's son-in-law Alistair Donald, and features members of his family, along with archival footage from other musical guests. Produced by the McCartneys' MPL Communications, it was broadcast around the world to accompany the contemporary release of a two-disc retrospective collection from McCartney's solo career, titled Wingspan: Hits and History. An accompanying book, also titled Wingspan, based upon the documentary's script as edited by Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, was published in 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
