Act One: The Journey
18 February 2022
This film is incredible, and for anyone who is even aware of Kanye West, this is a must see.

The first "act" in this trilogy paints a portrait of a man certain of his stardom, desperately searching for someone willing to open the door for him. Kanye wasn't an industry plant. In fact, this documentary shows that nearly everyone in the industry was perfectly content with him sitting on the sidelines. No one wanted to give him a record deal.

Even through rejection though, Kanye never stopped believing that he was destined for greatness. With the support of his mother, a few friends, and his own ego, we watch Ye carve a place for himself in music history.

For any artist trying to break through into any industry, this is documentary is truly inspiring.
