CELEBRITY DOCUMENTARIES YOU MUST HAVE SEEN

Part 2

Yehesss, I'm back with even more must-sees on Netflix. No, it's not my intention to ruin your social lives, but how wonderful is it now that it's getting cold to stay inside with an overdose of ginger nuts and entertainment. Have you already gone through my list from last week and are you already experiencing celebrity withdrawals? Here’s my new batch for you:

Beyoncé: Life Is But a Dream

Sorry, I’m starting off with a doc that’s not on Netflix, but still deserves a mention. I once wrote that I was team Solange instead of Bey, but that was not well received by some members of Beyoncé's Beyhive. So here it is for you: Life Is But a Dream.

Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids

When I was 15, I was already hopelessly in love with Justin when he was still part of *NSYNC. This doc follows Justin during his 20/20 Experience Tour, which brought in a modest 232 million dollars. Looks like I’m not the only one with a crush on JT…

What Happened, Miss Simone?

This is about the life of Nina Simone. We see her not only as an artist but also get to see the political side of Nina as she advocates for civil rights and human rights in the United States. “As fragile as she was strong, as vulnerable as she was dynamic, she was African royalty. How does royalty stomp around in the mud and still walk with grace?”

Leonardo DiCaprio: Before the Flood

Have you seen this yet, which Kiki mentioned last? No? Do it.

I’m Still Here

Well, this is more of a mockumentary than a documentary, but still, this doc is definitely worth scheduling for a night of couch lounging. It follows the life of Joaquin Phoenix after he announced he wanted to stop acting to pursue a rap career. The funny thing is that when this was filmed, everyone genuinely believed it. Hysterical. So watch it.

Biggie & Tupac

The two most notorious unsolved cases in the history of American crime: the murders of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. And once you finish this, you can immediately start ‘Murder Rap: Inside the Biggie and Tupac Murders’. It claims that it’s all due to P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy (no idea what he calls himself these days) that Tupac is no longer with us.

Alright, that’s it for today. I think you’ll be nicely occupied for a while. And those who are sweet get treats, so it’s quite convenient that Sinterklaas is back in the country.
