With the numerous documentaries about the incomparable Michael Jordan you sort of know what the documentary is going to cover based upon the year it was released. This one being released 1996 it could only be about one of two things: Jordan's retirement or Jordan's comeback. Well, this documentary covered both things with commentary from Jordan accompanied by an outdated and lousy soundtrack. The music wasn't even suitable for a generic job training video it was so bad.

Divorcing the documentary from the music, it was excellent. It focused more on his decision to retire and his sensational comeback, but it does fall short of chronicling the Bulls' full record setting '95-'96 season. It's as if they made the documentary a little too early. Like they were so giddy to have Michael back and dominating they couldn't wait for the completion of the season to make this documentary. No worries, I know many more documentaries were released after '96 and there will probably be a bunch more even after this year of 2021.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
