I thought this was gonna be another stand up show, because it was popping up whenever I was googling a show of Trevor Noah or rating them in IMDb. But thank god I was wrong, and this is an amazing backstory of the now famous comedian and host of The Daily Show.
The thing I liked most about this documentary is that it showed both sides of the coin. A South African comedian going to do his first solo stand-up show after just doing comedy for a few years isn't gonna be received positively by other South African comedians; some of them who are working for a decade or more. There's also a tragedy a that almost strikes his family. It also shows the social situation as well as the comedy scene in the country.
There was a lot of backlash when Trevor was announced host of The Daily Show. I'm sure this film can win the hearts of the haters. A must watch if you're a fan of Trevor now.
