A fascinating and poignant documentary in which friends and admirers track the story of professional wrestling legend Andre the Giant.

Mostly, we have a fuller understanding of why Andre's 46 years on this planet had such a lasting effect on so many people.

Pro wrestling is an entire industry built around an illusion, and it's something that Andre the Giant often nods at, but often seems to brush aside in favor of focusing on the deep resonance it has with its fans.

Produced by Janine Marmot and Bill Simmons, it follows a somewhat stale linear biography of French wrestler André Roussimoff... largely through interviews with the white men who run wrestling and are still alive to tell the tales.
