An incredible documentary with many twists and turns that will keep you wondering what's coming next. This film isn't just for lovers of hip-hop but transcends the genre as an intimate portrait of an artist struggling to maintain relevancy in the latter half of their career, and captures their journey as they search for creative inspiration and seek to reconnect with a long lost friend. Director Clark Slater brings his signature touch of weaving together a highly interpersonal story while also chronicling important moments in hip-hop history. Above all else the film is an important tale of success, loss, and finding one's self again.

Captivating and poignant exploration of an artist
Must watch for Hip Hop heads!
As a kid of the 90s this was such a dope film to watch. So many artists of my childhood were honored and I love that this film gave them their flowers. A must watch, truly inspiring and the team did such an amazing job telling this story. I left truly understanding how there are so many chapters in our lives and you can always get up and try again. It's never too late to pursue your dreams. This was more than just a documentary but a truly moving story on resilience, drive, and passion. This is the perfect film to watch with the family during the holiday times. I highly recommend and you will not be disappointed!
Loved it
Excellent and illuminating film following an artist in search of his next chapter. Dres is a fascinating character to follow -- it's easy to watch him reflect on his unique journey through being a "one album wonder" as a kid, to now where he's mentoring the next wave of talent in the industry and plotting his next album. The twists and turns of his comeback (a new album featuring the beats of the legendary producer, J Dilla) allow us to see the complexities of the music industry in a way few outsiders ever get to see. The Choice is Yours is nostalgic as well as a lesson in navigating the music industry. Bravo to the filmmakers.
