Sidney Poitier...
"Sidney" is a Documentary that follows the life of Sidney Poitier, one of the most talented actors and the first Black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Lilies of the Field (1963).
I have to admit that I was simply amazed by the life of Sidney Poitier and I learnt a lot from this documentary about him and his life not only as an actor but also his personal life. Sidney Poitier was a very important actor but also a very important person the civil rights movement. Through his amazing career, Sidney Poitier directed and produced some very successful movies, something difficult but an important milestone for him. To sum up, I have to say that "Sidney" is an amazing documentary from which I learnt a lot for Sidney Poitier and I strongly recommend everyone to watch it because I am sure that the life and the achievements of Sidney Poitier will amaze you, too.
