It is pretty good with a lot of great footage. All the key players are interviewed: Maceo, Fred, Ray, Pee Wee and so on. It covers the later Collins era band too. (Bootsy and Catfish) Its focus is on the early years to the mid 70's, touches on the political stuff. It talks in detail what it was like working for James who had a perfectionist streak and was very demanding.
It does not talk much of his demise and downfall which is fine.It does discuss his domestic violence issues a bit. Well worth watching.
