A towering biography

So perfectly told. The humanity of Jane Fonda is shown here in a compelling documentary format. Our humanity is full of ups and downs as his hers. To see this film unfold over 5 acts is to see a life lived with mistakes and accomplishments. Hers is a rich life not only monetary, but emotionally and in her growth as a human being. She is a doer and watching her story will only make others want to do. That's a great story told greatly. The production values are first rate. A compelling watch.
