Customer Reviews
Lemon is Unforgettable
I was a huge fan of Def Jam Poetry. Out of all of the Def Jam Poets, Lemon is the most memorable. I wasn't fortunate enough to have seen County of Kings (Lemon's one man show) but so glad this documentary was put out based on its production. I made my entire family watch it and will be recommending it to all my friends!
Speechless
I don't know how to do this film and Lemon and his family justice. I'm so inspired and amazed right now. I want everyone to see this film.
Gotta see!
If you want to be entertained, made to laugh, made to cry, made to wonder about the scars that the past leaves on us all, watch this film. It is an inspiration and must see!
