An interesting bio-doc that reviews the life of Randi who made a mission of exposing fake healers and psychics to enlightenment the public.
I have a lot of respect for this man. Exposing lying liars for the lies they claim.
We need more people like James Randi in this world. Exposing the worlds fakes. Great doc.
A man that has been spending his life proving of the impossible a unique documentary
An interesting look inside the life of one of my heros
A refreshing documentary about a man that tells you he’s about to trick you, & keeps his word. Amazing story, noble causes, and some drama.
It's not only an interesting story, but it also manages to deliver a ton of emotion. Amazing Randy's life was exactly that, amazing
Way more interesting than I thought it would be from the summaries, definitely worth a watch.
A good documentary that takes an interesting, introspective turn, shifting emphasis from the career to the person.
Perhaps even more fascinating than the man’s career is his relationship.
