The Long
The documentary IS a documentary and I would give it an entertainment rating of about 6.5 of 10 for that category. The content is about a 9 of 10 as it summarizes a great man. The trailer is pretty representative and is 2.5 min
You will get a taste of Thomas Sowell, and a quick survery of his life. The documentary even spends some time on Sowell’s photography hobby. Jason Riley seems to have a passion for Thomas Sowell and sort of narrarates the documentary. Jason Riley is on twitter at https://twitter.com/jasonrileywsj Jason Riley pops into the documentary at various places:
I personally found it amazing that Thomas Sowell has published at least 4 books since he was 80 years old. Since Sowell was born in 1930, he has been through a good part of modern American history. On youtube some people have said:
“Thomas Sowell is nothing short of a national treasure. We won't see another in our lifetime.” Friday13th fan
“I lost a debate with Mr. Sowell a little more than a decade ago. He so thoroughly beat me that it made me stop and rethink everything that I thought I knew. He changed my life and I'm forever grateful.” NONNAMESLEFTNONE
“One could fill an entire volume of inspirational or thought-provoking quotes just from Thomas Sowell. What an incredible human being” Tommy F
“Thomas Sowell is a real man who stands for his highly moral character.” Robin Luich
“What a great role model. I'm so grateful for his many contributions to our world.” Kris Kohler

Country in Africa, I’m deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart to be able to have access to such treasure of knowledge for FREE.” maryclode
“What a just beautiful and courageous man! So glad and grateful that I came across some of his works! Thank you TS for sharing your knowledge and wisdom! What a humble and kind person who wants the world and humanity to be in better places for all!!” Sara ASH
“An absolute hero of mine! I cant wait for a few more years when all this has really sunk in because even though I have had a new worldview thanks to this hero, I know more is still to come and as I learn, I will grasp some of what he was sharing even better and will gladly share it as well. Love from South Africa” Thee Greatest Ever
“I thank those responsible for this small but loving tribute to this great man. A direct hug from Brazil!” Carlos Macedo
“This is the most interesting video I've watched in a long time. We are truly blessed to have such a courageous, smart person tell it like it is. My only regret is I just found out about him in 2020.” Chubba Head
Is that enough quotes to get you to watch the documentary? I hope so.
