When Jamie Foxx nearly let an opportunity of a lifetime slip through his fingers, it meant remembering how he became Jamie Foxx in the first place. A story of dreams meeting discipline, the multifaceted mega-talent Jamie Foxx is iconic for roles in Ray, Django Unchained, and frequent collaborations with Kanye West. Once a kid from Texas with nothing but a dream, this documentary encapsulates Jamie's fearless ascension towards glittering fame, but just as importantly, the people who helped him get there.
