8/10

"HBO Sports does a documentary on the iconic giant wrestling star. He is one of a kind. He is also very human. This is able to show both of him.

Of course, I already knew about his pain but it doesn't hit me until his suffering is put front and center. He's a friendly giant but like everyone else, he has his suffering along with his joy. He is a giant and a human being...."
