Good documentary about the life and film career of Sidney Poitier. Sidney Poitier is a gifted storyteller and it is therefore nice that he himself speaks a lot here. The archive material supports his life story and of course his most important films are also featured.

Oprah Winfrey produced this reverent yet compelling portrait of one of the most important African-American icons of the 21st century. A fully fit-looking Poitier (who passed away at the age of 94 in early 2022) vividly recounts his childhood, which largely explains the choices he made throughout the rest of his life. His introduction to the world outside the Bahamas is touching, his views on key moments in his career fascinating. Colleagues with whom he worked closely on stage and/or in films place one other in context in this conventionally structured, but captivating documentary.

Beautifully put together documentary about the iconic actor, filmmaker and activist Sidney Poitier, realized just before his death at the age of 94. Colleagues and admirers open an impressive gaze to the extensive praise, but Poitier himself also often and often speaks. As far as I'm concerned, Poitier's filmography is a little underdeveloped and the idol idolization of the best man is sporadically gone too far, but there are many interesting and sensible interviews and the chosen film clips are first-class.
