Dear Mama

All I can say is I am a better, more informed person after watching this amazing story! God bless Afeni Shakur and everything she created! If you thought you knew Tupac's story prior to watching this you are very much mistaken. I have a grown respect for every artist that contributed to this project. Very real perspective. From Mike Tyson to Shock G, you will hear so much love and respect for clearly one of the gteatest artists of all time. Dear mama is the deepest and most informed documentary I have ever watched. Love Hip Hop or not you will educate yourself on life and legacy after taking the time to experience this film. Dear Mama, I understand you! I love you! Peace out!

This documentary is amazing. Not only is each episode a period of his life, the interviews of his Aunt really give us a real look of both Tupac and his beloved mother Afeni. I am so thankful as a fan of Tupac's that his legacy and memory continue to live on in this series. Very well made and an honest look into the beautiful mind of Tupac and his life. This is a must watch. You will laugh, cry, smile and feel empowered. If you didn't know Tupac other than his music this will help you to see in the mastermind and brilliance of a man who only lived a short but truly impactful life. Thank you for this series.

As a now 47 year old white male, I am the white youth that Tupac reached during his time here. Growing up in the inner city I could relate to his mesmerising stories of hood culture. I never bought into the perception that I couldn't hear Jimmy. I felt his pain through his music regardless of the colour of my skin. I was the youth that he was trying to reach. Living in Belgium in 2023 and I see elementary kids rocking his t shirts. My daughter has questions. I now educate her on the revolutionary that he was. She will be able to educate those other kids on his message so that they understand that he is more than an image, he is an icon. The world lost a true visonary. His message crossed all lines. Racial, cultural and personal. Love you Pac.

I'm still processing so many emotions... gratitude for afeni and tupac, their transparency, their dedication to improving the lives of black people... the love that made them both stand out as activists and artists and leaders in the black community... their legacy lives on.

This doc did a great job honoring their life stories, and didn't shy away from commenting on the complexities and contradictions (love, rage, violence, care, loneliness, community) that marked tupac and afeni's lives.

This was a beautiful, powerful documentary. You can't know or love tupac without knowing or loving afeni. I spent most eps wishing i could see more footage of afeni speaking onscreen but the last few scenes were a very pleasant surprise.

I've never reviewed anything on here before but after watching this i had to sign up and do it. This is so brilliantly produced and put together. Telling the story of both their lives in great detail. Even had some facts and footage id never seen of him before and i think of myself as a Tupac obsessive. Can not reccomend highly enough. I was worried it would just be another money making thrown together documentary but i was very wrong, it was so well done it felt like something completely new. The director doesnt shy away from his own issue he had with Tupac and covers it in the documentary. Some really interesting input from close friends and family.

Itll make you laugh cry, angry and everything else all in 5 episodes.

Confirming him as the greatest of all time.
