Bill Withers is best known for penning the classic songs "Lean On Me", "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone", and "Just the Two of Us". In this humanizing documentary portrait we visit with Bill decades after the hurricane of fame swept through his life. He's not sure he wants to make music anymore. He struggles to feel inspired. Juxtaposed with present-day scenes of his quiet domestic life are clips of Bill in his heyday, performing on stages around the world. Now he's content to simply rest and reflect on his days in the limelight; he's no longer fueled by the passions of youth or a need to prove himself. That said, as the title of the film simply states, he's "Still Bill". Still a sensitive soul possessed of a poet's heart and an effervescent compassion for his fellow man.
