Alvin Ailey was a visionary artist who found salvation through dance. An immersive portrait told in his own words and through the creation of a new commission inspired by his life, Ailey fully profiles this brilliant and enigmatic man who – when confronted by a world that refused to embrace him – was determined to build one that would.
“Ailey creates a feeling about Alvin Ailey: how grace and eloquence, fire and obsession merged within him.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety
