It appears 2019 is a great year for recording history, dramatised or not. We had When They See Us and Chernobyl already deeply acclaimed for their accuracy and raw exposure of events; now we have this documentary. It's great that we're made aware of this power figure in the industry; it is paramount that African Americans and black people all over the world have this record of History, and are aware that this man lives to move his community and his people forward in more ways than one. It's a great portrayal of how social entrepreneurship can be a major thing in the big money leagues and move entire generations forward. It was delightful to learn that one man has proven the institution of prejudice wrong just by living a good life.

As far as documentaries go, this is simply a gem. Inspiring, entertaining, funny, thoughtful and very well made. It shines light on a real positive side of Hollywood and the music business that is rarely talked about... people connecting people, not for financial gain, but for art.

This film has some excellent interviews with some of the most influential figures of the 20th and 21st century. I doubt that Reggie (the director) considers him a national treasure... but he is.

I recommend this documentary to everyone on earth.

I want to start by saying that I don't really care for documentaries unless the subject matter is something I care deeply about. That being said, I've never had a deep love for the entertainment industry. I almost skipped over this, but something about the trailer made me decide to give it a chance. Within minutes, I was hooked not only on the style of this particular documentary, but on Clarence Avant and his personality. I fell in love with the man over the course of the film, and I wish I could meet him.

A lot of the anecdotes that are told throughout the film are both funny and heart-warming. This man did so much for so many people, and touched so many lives in the process. If you're on the fence about watching this, give it a chance. I'm not saying you're going to love it, because I don't know you. But give it a chance.
