Blind and Battered

With no father and a mother who was a sex worker and doing drugs, Mac Wayne didn't grow up easy. In fact, he ended up shooting himself, which he survived, but was rendered blind. This struggle against adversity is absolutely engrossing. Documentary storytelling at its finest. Highly recommend!

Glorified because he's blind. He is a lowlife drug dealer surrounded by gangsters and worn down prostitutes.

His "clients" and friends talk about what a good person he is, it seems they are a bunch of liars and will say anything to be on camera. Even a DJ at the local radio station raved about his talent- the fact is he's terrible!

I AM puzzled as to why a judge would sugarcoat this career criminal's deeds? Maybe he felt sorry for him because he's blind? I don't get it.

This "documentary" shows how a morally corrupt, no talent, wannabe kingpin is just another bully. The filmmaker doesn't present any opposing viewpoints (such as the police).

He doesn't care about his community and will do anything for a buck- even armed robbery and chopping off a girl's hair during the robbery isn't off limits for this creep.

He needs to be in prison without his entourage around him and then MAYBE, just maybe he will turn his life around.

Okay, so let me just say this right upfront... I'm not a big documentary sort of guy. I can hang for maybe 10-15 minutes... but unless it's something to do with JFK's assassination... I'm gone. This documentary is really good!! It kept my interest from beginning to end! Understanding what he went through and was blind... oh my gosh! It's set up for a Part II. I want to know what became of him. A big thumbs up for me on this one!

I was fascinated by this story and the "character" of Mac Wayne and the people in his life. It's the story of a man who aspires to great things despite his disabilities with the dark twist that his disability is a self-inflicted gun shot wound and his aspirations are to be a great criminal. It's funny at times, moving at others and sometimes even a bit disturbing. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences between a real-life kingpin and the kind you see in the movies. Definitely worth a watch.

An unbelievably absorbing journey into the hellish world or drugs and the ultimate inspirational release of Rap music. A fascinating film about a true artists whose battle through thick and thin is one that needs to be told.
