I have read several of the reviews, and being very opinionated on the rise and fall and rise again of one of worlds longest tenured musical acts, I must admit I disagree with those who have not been able to grow with the band regardless of changes in music and personnel. I think there's probably a reason that bands with the legacy such as Chicago, probably do not enter into a documentary type setting, I mean 50 years of success is also going to give you 50 years of experiences, some good, some bad and some unsettling. I would immediately challenge any filmmaker to attempt 50 years into two hours viewing experience and not cover everything associated with a bands success and failures. Every film is a work of art and expression, no one is attempting to alter a single person's opinions. In a documentary setting, the filmmaker is trying to educate you and enlighten you and entertain you, all of those things so eloquently captured by Peter Pardini in this never attempted before reveal of 50 years of existence. Whether you enjoyed the two hour experience, is irrelevant.... this documentary is Chicago, from their humble beginnings 50 years ago to internal strife and tragedy, to today.... The success that this band enjoys today is directly related to all it has experienced over 50 years, it is called perseverance. Egos and brotherhoods on a team or Entertainment act are often fractured sometimes destroyed beyond repair and the fans often don't want to recognize that, Credit Mr. Pardini for his honest and forth with discussions and approaches instead of attempting to sugarcoat some situations. If you're a fan of Chicago then you cannot not enjoy this glimpse into the 50 year marriage of this band.
