What a beautiful and intimate documentary. Mr. Idris Elba allowed us to take a brief peek into his personal life and he didn't have to share; I am thankful that he did.

His Da is with him in all of these moments and is so proud of him, not only his amazing success, but by how he treats and respects others and loves all people.

Great documentary! It was nice seeing another side of Idris Elba. People don't know my love for listening and playing music either because they just see what I do for a living.

His mom is SO beautiful, doesn’t look any older than Idris, no wrinkles

Great documentary. Also, I love the use of alliteration in the title!!

what a fantastic documentary.

Wonderful discovery and self-discovery content! I hope this brings him joy and happiness. Everyone should look into their roots. Such beautiful, warm, embracing culture! I worshiped Mandela growing up. I remember watching the day he was freed with awe and joy. Study culture all!!!! I have “none”, because as the ASU students said, “white has no culture”. Seriously though, I know nothing of my maternal side. The only culture I know is West Texan. Always be friendly, always show respect (even if not shown to you), celebrate yourself and the diversity of your fellow Americans, work hard, play hard, fight hard, and be environmentally aware. Save the Earth

It’s not a grammatical error…..it has a purpose.

To tell HIS FANS about his life, were you listening at the beginning?

[@chaileeportraits]

How about "MY DAD AND I" rather than my dad and me

[@gogogadgetkat]

That completely defeats the purpose of the alliteration in the title.
