While the Minister of Culture had completely forgotten to pay tribute to Watch David After his tragic and premature death, the work Uncle David the prince of resources, Finally returns to the extraordinary destiny of an artist from nothing, passed through resourcefulness and thugs before becoming a legend of French urban music then an essential artist of hexagonal variety. After a series of unpublished musical successes (Blues of the scum, go tell them, each its way…), The awakening dream gradually turns into a nightmare: harassed by the taxman, released by his record company, in open conflict with many actors from the show business, blacklist of national media, forgotten by the main actors of reggae (in particular the organizers of festivals …), Uncle David begins a long crossing of the desert.
