    Tyson finally gets to tell his side of the story.

    by ahmadr

    A great documentary about a great sports icon and American character. You get to know the complexities of this man through his honest testimony. It makes you realize that until you've walked in another person's shoes, you cannot judge them fairly.

    This is a must see movie!

    by 36yearoldmale

    This is perhaps one of the best documentaries I can recall seeing. The editing is terrific and the movie really flows beautifully despite being almost 2 hours long. Tyson is portrayed in a manner that actually causes sympathy from the audience, despite his history of abuses and mistakes. This is particularly true in light of the tragedy he is now dealing with due to the death of his daughter. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone, whether you are a boxing fan or not.
