I saw this story 2 days ago. It was the best documentary I have ever seen. It covered so many avenues and most of these avenues were positive. You interviewed Stevie Wonder and most others who I trusted the opinion of. Some stories from journalists about him and different artists, can be so negative. You didn’t include that paparazzi photograph taken of him eating, as 99% networks do, just to try and make it more negative. I’m very glad I saw it. I cried at the end.
I agree. Great program :)
