09/29/2023 Great movie with a great message!!! See more Joseph S @Joefelice 04/24/2023 For most people that have not lived during the time of Reggie's career, this "documentary" will be very informative. Even though Reggie had full control on the making of this film, he comes off as arrogant, angry and bitter, however rightfully so because of the society that he grew up in, while demanding respect and dignity. See more Michael W @mawilps 04/02/2023 This sports documentary was really good. The entire crew did a fantastic job on bringing Reggie Jackson's story to life and in his own words. Mr. Jackson really talks about all of the struggles he faced as a player and as a person, which was inspirational and outrageous. He just wanted to play ball the way he wanted and live the way he wanted to live and the public treated him like he was a disgrace most of the time. He deserved better and he proved that himself and the people and he won their hearts. That's incredible. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. See more Marc Z @TKDLife 04/01/2023 A cool documentary of the professional life and career of Reggie Jackson through his words and eyes. This is an interesting look at the evolution of Jackson's career in respect to role and life of blacks in baseball and the civil rights moment in the United States. Jackson was a controversial player and still a controversial figure, but a colorful one, no doubt. If you were a lover of the Oakland A's of the early 1970's, or the New York Yankees of the 2nd half of that decade, then this is an extra special look at the man. The filmmaking is not great but the subject matter makes it worth watching. Some great historical footage.

I've been a fan of Reggie since I was 8 years old and with the Oakland A's, followed him to Yankees and Angels back to A's. I was hoping for more than this in documentary. Reggie has always been about Reggie and I was hopeful of a deeper story about his life and his path to baseball and after but we got the same stuff in his book of years ago. It is what it is, a mediocre documentary. See more william N @RT03820116 03/27/2023 I am the same age as Reggie and this movie gives a great representation of what was going on during the 70's. The country was just beginning to move forward from its history of racism. There was a long way to go, but opportunities were beginning to open. Reggie is a good metaphor for that period. His career reflects the changes that the country was going through as opportunities slowly began to open. The most enlightening part is the discussions with athletes who played before 1968 and what their experiences were. I think that people born in the 80's and after don't have any comprehension of the reality of the experiences of black athletes before Reggie Jackson and his generation. It also shows the current experience of whites and blacks in the current world of class politics. A world where if you aren't in the right circles, many doors are closed to you, no matter your skin color. See more Read all reviews
