Willie Nelson, who turns 90 in April, is the subject of a five-part documentary debuting this week at the Sundance Film Festival. “Willie Nelson & Family” is an engrossing, unflinching and ultimately loving portrait of a cultural icon who has lived “a rich life of beauty and struggle,” says Thom Zimny, who shares director credits with Oren Moverman.
Prime Video is offering discounts on over a dozen channels including Paramount+ with Showtime, MGM+, STARZ, ViX Premium, Crunchyroll, BET+, PBS Masterpiece, Acorn TV, PBS Docs, Lifetime Movie Club, History Vault, PBS Living, A&E Crime Central, BBC Select, Shudder, and PBS Kids. The limited deal will be valid from today until January 1, 2024.
The film captures the complexity of Nelson, who dreamed in his boyhood of becoming a singing cowboy like his movie idols, and became one of the most acclaimed songwriters and singers of his age, as well as a celebrated actor, author and activist, living through decades of tragedies and triumphs.
