Late, great movie icon Marlon Brando is to be honoured by his friends and peers as part of a new two-part documentary to air on TV in the US in May.

James Caan, Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese, Angie Dickinson, Edward Norton and Dennis Hopper will join family and friends to reminisce and pay tribute to the On The Waterfront star in Brando.

The revealing documentary will also feature never-before-seen footage of Brando at work and play, and a series of rarely-seen in-depth interviews with the actor.

It will also look at Brando's involvement in civil rights and features interviews with Native American leaders and Black Panther officials, whom the movie legend worked with and befriended.

The highlight of the documentary, which will air on the Turner Classic Movies network on May 1 and 2, will be an interview with Sacheen Littlefeather, the Native American actress who took the stage at the 1973 Academy Awards to reject Brando's Oscar for The Godfather.
