This film portrays the highs and lows of a prolific photographer in lower Manhattan without the filters. The struggle is real, the portrayal is raw and beautiful and it touches one's soul.

This documentary is entertaining even for the individuals who aren't documentary fans. The movie tells the story of and takes you on the journey through the interesting and unlikely story of photographer Ricky Powell. For most people their introduction to Ricky would be through the Beastie Boys or his popular public access show Rappin With the Rickster, this documentary provides a glimpse at the beginning middle and end of a prolific photographers life. The cast of interviewees is a star studded who's who of 80's & 90's NYC music and dance scene. The animation and choice of music submerges you into the stories and make you feel like you were actually there. Highly recommend checking this out, I have yet to meet someone who didn't enjoy it.

This was just an electric film from start to finish. Truly a work of art. It definitely had some dark moments and there are some battles that were tough to witness Ricky go through but I just found it so inspiring to watch this story.
