Anybody here get to see the documentary about the making of the Five Heartbeats movie ??

The documentary got limited showings in US movie theatres last summer but I haven't seen anything about any UK screenings or about any TV company planning to show it. There are bits on the net about it and even the odd Youtube clip.

It's topical at the moment as it was recently announced that there's a project in development to turn the film into a musical Broadway stage show (with a new original song being added to the piece). No doubt if the Broadway show takes off & does well, it could even make it to the West End in time.
