Been Rich All My Life (2006)
Love this movie!!!!
This is a great film!
Rarely do you get to see a documentary where the subjects are actually allowed to tell their own story like this one does. Granted that the filmmaker gets to shape the film in editing but still the women portrayed here are the stars and they are worth every minute. In fact, I wish it had been longer. These women really LIVED!! Not only are their stories fascinating and amazing but the movie makes you wish you could have been in New York in the thirties and forties, running around Harlem, dancing all night long.
It also shows the real personal pain and just plain hurtfulness of segregation, and what a real bitch it is to get old. But also how the sisterhood of these dancers keeps them going and laughing and joking. They are amazing.
I love these women and all they have to say. What a pleasure to spend time with them.
