This documentary follows the life of Clarence Avant, a bold mentor and behind-the-scenes force in music, film, TV, and politics. It explores his struggles and achievements, showing how he helped shape major creative and community efforts.
My takeYou’ll likely enjoy this if you like inspiring, uncensored true-life stories about major behind-the-scenes influence in Big industries; Not for you if you only watch lightweight entertainment or dislike documentaries like Beastie Boys Story and Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap.
