Audience Member Great documentary of true American hero who was betrayed by his government and pervasive racism. My only complaint is that the film felt too short. It left me wanting to know more. Another fine HBO documentary. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member great bio doc on a great man Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A good documentary that taught me a lot about Louis and also prompted me to learn more about Max Schmelling. Bill Cosby appears. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical of the US. Their heros rise to fame and are the savior of the country.. But if he has nothing to give anymore, the hero is now push aside and forgot about! A great documenty!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I've lived in Detroit most of my life, but never really knew his story. I have new great appreciation and respect. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
