Prince: Unauthorized

Prince: Unauthorized is a 50-minute documentary that focuses on the early years of music legend Prince. The film features interviews with his first managers, original band members, and childhood friends, providing a glimpse into the influences that shaped him. However, it lacks substantial insights into Prince's personality and career.

The documentary is presented in grainy black-and-white footage, showcasing moments from his youth, including images of him with an outsize Afro. While it attempts to dissect Prince's character through the voices of those close to him, it ultimately falls short of revealing the complexities of this one-man music industry.

For collectors, this documentary is available on VHS, making it a physical media option for those interested in Prince's early narrative. As a documentary, it fits within the broader genre of music films and adds context to the legendary artist's story, despite its shortcomings in delivering deeper insights.
