Sammy Davis Jr.; I’ve Gotta Be Me (2017)

I loved this documentary about the entertainer (1925-1990) who broke ground in so many ways. Here's a short trailer and a longer one.

Director Samuel D. Pollard has a long list of credits and the work here is exemplary. I was lucky enough to see it in a big festival crowd where Pollard made an appearance.

You can't see it in theatres but in February 2019 it will be on the American Masters series on PBS. Passport Level PBS donors will be able to stream it after that. Donate (contact your local station--it needs your support) and then watch it!
