Summaries

Driven details the life and career of legendary bodybuilder Tony Pearson, documenting the abuse he suffered as a child and overcame, his eventual journey to Los Angeles, and his incredible career in bodybuilding.

Tony Pearson was once called the "Michael Jackson of Bodybuilding" due to his appearance and incredible posing routines. He became an icon that helped define professional bodybuilding in the 1980s. Now Tony enters his final competition at the age of 63 while also recalling the harrowing child abuse that led to his inner, and ultimately outer, strength. Driven shows how a person can rise above their situation and be stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually... simply by picking up a weight.—Generation Iron
