You see a lot of documentaries that chronicle a series of impactful events in the life of the subject that led them to be where they are. This one is not like that. There is not much about Dolly's background beyond explaining that she came from humble means and knew from a very young age that she wanted to be a performer.
This is more about who Dolly Parton is as a person. Her motivations, her approach to life and how she manages her career as a musician. You come to understand why you never hear a bad a word about her, she's impossible not to like. And as Jane Fonda talked about as a result she is loved by a wide swath of people from very different backgrounds.
Not being much of a country music fan I didn't know how much of an incredibly skilled song writer she is and the diversity of songs she has done. Even having done songs with very dark themes like The Bridge that you wouldn't necessarily associate with her. I appreciated that the documentary includes a good sampling of the music she has done.
She is an incredible talent and you really get the sense that she is someone that is very self aware. She knew what she wanted and went out and got it. Can't help but respect that.
