It's great that people are trying to keep one of the greatest African American playwrights alive. I love all of Wilson's work, especially Fences. I just seriously hope that the direct can successfully capture the difficulties of Wilsons' life and all the emotion that Wilson conveys through his plays. I will be eagerly waiting for this documentary.
