Love it
19 October 2018 | by jonsnow-80520 – See all my reviews

Amazing documentary about the biggest Icon ever. It goes to great detail of the false allegations he suffered in 93 and 03. The director did a great.

Its very sad that such a kind soul was treated so freaking bad, which ultimately led to his death.
