Very informative, find out stuff you never knew...
17 August 2001 | by (Chicago Il.) – See all my reviews

This documentary was put together very well. It clearly outlines what happened the night of Tupac's shooting, and it finally puts to rest the rumor of Tupac being alive. Pac's bodyguard, Frank Alexander, was actually in the car behind Tupac when the shots were fired. His story is very compelling. The pictures are great, the videos bring back great memories, the music is slammin, and the interviews reveal a lot. This video is a must see for any Tupac fan.
