Blind and Battered

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.

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.

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!

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.

This documentary is raw and unfiltered and addresses the real life challenge of a young boy and man neglected and brought up in a criminal environment. It reveals why someone who only has known this kind of lifestyle takes so much stock in how much he can accomplish in the criminal world he occupies, even though he is blind from a self inflicted gunshot wound. He tries that much harder. It's hard to take at time, you are sympathetic towards Wayne and get to take an inside look at a real life kingpin and what they involves. It's a fascinating look into that world and one you should experience by watching this informative doc.
