Sidney, a documentary on the life of Sidney Poitier, is now available on Apple TV+.
The film features Sidney Poitier telling his life story on camera and with recreations and clips of the events. I appreciated the straight-forward chronological approach of conveying the major details of his life from his childhood in the Bahamas, how he eventually became an actor in America, his major films as an actor and director, and how his life continued after becoming a major star. Sidney Poitier’s daughters are also on camera quite a bit to present many of their memories of their father.
It was really great that they were able to get Sidney Poitier’s full participation in this film prior to his passing. I think any classic movie fan who is familiar with his films (how can they not be) will enjoy it.

Thank you for the heads-up and commentary. I'd love to see it, so hopefully, it will eventually be available on other streaming services.
