His new adventure takes Zanardi to one of the most famous endurance races in the world: The 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. He shares the cockpit of the BMW GT race car with two of the fastest men in the sport: Ex-Formula 1 driver Timo Glock and touring-car champ Bruno Spengler. They form nothing less than an all-star team of race-track pioneers, going beyond limits and limitations. Never before has a handicapped driver competed in a 24 hour race on this level with able-bodied drivers. The documentary covers the whole story: From their first get-together at BMW headquarters in Munich until the lights turn green in Belgium and the Iron Man with plastic legs limps into his racing car, changing seat and steering wheel with his teammate. But for Alex Zanardi, even after the marathon race, his mission is not over. Only four days later, he is eager to defend his white jersey at the Handcycle World Championship in Switzerland - an outrageous challenge, even for the man with no limits.

Citizen Lane is an innovative mix of documentary and drama that delivers a vivid and compelling portrait of Hugh Lane, one of the most fascinating and yet enigmatic figures in modern Irish history. A man of multiple contradictions, by turns infuriatingly parsimonious or extraordinarily generous, a professed nationalist and a knight of the realm; a monumental snob and a fearless campaigner for access to the arts.

Those who wrote shitty reviews about him are probably his hater and that is acceptable. He is a big artist, he will surely have haters and for those who think he has not changed, God gifted him with a daughter If God can do that, It means he has changed for his family, loved ones and fans. The documentary has great music I literally get goosebumps watching it. And for those who didn't like shame on you cause you don't understand music and art.PEACE

This documentary is 6 years too late I'm going to break it up into parts and add a little background info. Chris Brown and his team are highly confusing and that's putting it mildly the only thing this documentary does is give a bit of background info on his life that honestly if you truly cared to know you could piece together easily. So here we go.1: Chris Brown talks about his abusive stepfather in depth how he was abusive and crazy to the point that he shot himself in the head yet he didn't die which made him even more psychotic and further traumatized Chris.2. Chris Brown talks about the 09 incident with Robyn Fenty aka Rihanna and also gives us background info on how they met and also let us know that they were hitting and abusing one another beforehand because of Browns infidelity which makes sense they were both teenagers and both came from similar backgrounds of abuse in the home. He talks about how his honesty led to Rihanna physically abusing him she also initiated what happened that night and that being the first time he struck her with a closed fist, he had slapped her back and restrained her in previous altercations and they would talk about it afterwards vowing to never hit each other again yet lied to the whole world about her involvement.3. He talks about the incident on GMA with Robin and how he didn't throw a chair through the window he punched the window out of frustration, his time in jail and he briefly talks about his "relationship" with karrueche tran and about his daughter Royalty. -The end.Here's why I state it's pointless and too late the time for Chris Brown to defend and tell his side of the story has long since passed though its true Rihanna gave her blessing for him to tell his side of the story it's too late he should've held her accountable then but no he allowed her to lie to everyone and make us believe that she was blameless and not hitting him as well for reasons why I don't know and now with his recent ex gf ms. tran accusing him of the same thing which is abuse was granted a restraining order because he chose not to show up and defend himself and I highly doubt that he will file an appeal, a defamation lawsuit, a gag order and his own restraining order because it seems to me that Chris Brown thinks that being a man is about being macho and he's too ashamed to admit that women have hurt him whether it be physically or emotionally, he hasn't learned anything from his past decisions and I doubt he ever will. He is a creature of habit and a victim of circumstance it's been 6+ years and he's still in the same place mentally and emotionally smh.In conclusion I would've actually liked to know the real Chris Brown and find out what his thought process is when it comes to defending himself and overall life decisions, he's a really charismatic, really talented, lovable guy I can tell he's not a psychotic or a bad person and that he really doesn't want to be hated by people but he's not making wise decisions he's not learned and the only thing this documentary shows is why he is the way he is now (bitter and angry) and sadly I don't know if he'll ever be that 16-19 year old guy (personality wise) that we once knew that seemed like the real Chris Brown idk who this impostor is but I hope he disappears soon. Perhaps we will have to wait for Welcome to My Life 2 to see that.

It's north to impossible to fairly critique a documentary about any active pop stars life and outcomes with feeling the sense of judgement of being told "your a hater" or "it's made for the fans only". After seeing Justin Bieber's and even One Direction's films, I realized that these kind of films are tailor made to not involve uncomfortable conversations that may interfere with their brand. Chris Brown's Welcome to My Life isn't afraid to answer those questions, but forgets to explain why he connected with many in the first place.For about the first 25 minutes, we get a very abbreviated how he shot into stardom, which feels too quickly rushed and underdeveloped given he had a strong 2 year run in 2005- 2007. There's no development of his creative process as a artist which is strange given this was filmed by his filming company. However, A lot of time is spent explaining "the incident", almost too much time that it gets uncomfortable how much he goes into detail of every moment. The biggest issue with Welcome to My Life is that doesn't change the perception that he wanted to put his music first as at least 45 minutes is given to his scandals and controversy, as his music is almost intentionally on the back burner.If your a Chris Brown fan, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this film regardless. But as a documentary where people say "there's Michael Jackson and then there's Chris Brown", it doesn't leave anywhere near the creative impact.

In his new documentary, Chris Brown is trying to deflect a fact that he's a woman beater. Movie focuses on his raise to fame and success and then how beating up RiRi took away everything he worked for. Blames his mistakes on everything but himself. Chris Brown needs to take more Ls to realize that he's irrelevant in today's music and show biz and needs to disappear forever into retirement .I wish that i could 0 star this but you can only go as low as 1. L/10
