The One and Only Dick Gregory (2021) Official Trailer | SHOWTIME Documentary Film

In writer-director Andre Gaines’ THE ONE AND ONLY DICK GREGORY, extraordinary archival footage and new interviews put a spotlight on this icon’s journey from influential comedian to on-the-ground activist — which is discussed by modern legends including Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, and Wanda Sykes, along with commentary from Harry Belafonte, W. Kamau Bell, Lawrence O’Donnell, Gregory’s wife Lillian Gregory, Medgar Evers’ wife Dr. Myrlie Evers-Williams, and others. Most essential is Dick Gregory himself, whose insights before he died in 2017 provide a crucial through line to what Gregory gave voice to during the Civil Rights era — and which continue to be vital today. Streaming with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

The One and Only Dick Gregory (2021) Official Trailer | SHOWTIME Documentary Film

[quietstorm]

I watched this today and wanted to thank you. I was on the edge of my seat and pushed back tears the whole time. What a true incredible man and family. I've always loved to hear him talk. When he said ' huh' after a sentence I sat up straighter and listened more intently. His fight for healthier living put me in a place of absolute inspiration.

They say when an elder dies, its like a library burns down...with this guy...its like a whole museum....Rest in Power

[TheresaCatanese]

This was one of America's Icons. What a wealth of wisdom we have lost. Everything I have ever seen with him shows humbleness, intelligence, honor and integrity.

[benjamina.]

I had the honor of spending time with Dick Gregory in DC at events, dinner or just running into him on the streets of DC, at churches, hotels, restaurants, etc...and he always took time to talk & I'd listen...peace to my Brother Dick Gregory, a great Man of Humanity...

[davidtolbert]

A Man of Integrity, Truth, Love and Peace! A True LEGEND! You're truly missed Mr. Gregory!🙏😇

[stregadisalem]

He was a truth teller and some people still don’t want to open their eyes to what he knew going back to the 60s. He understood the way the world works and never stopped trying to explain it to others and to remind us, no matter how shocking or controversial or how uncomfortable it might make us feel.

I so miss the man..I learned so much from him .I missed him when he came to Baltimore before he passed..he was a Great !!!!

[claudiagarcia]

Glad that someone did a documentary for the GOAT. I was disappointed though because there is so much of his story that was left out. I hope they make a movie of his life. The definition of bravery.

[robertschlesinger]

I remember Dick Gregory well. He was amazing.

[Angel-kwyl]

Love this ICON, spoke truth to injustice and evil!

Dick Gregory's book is a great piece of literature. One of the most moving autobiographies I've ever read.

[kevinlawrence]

[MrBloom-mhli]

A proud Charles E. Sumner High School graduate and track star from the heart of the Lou, the Ville neighborhood.

[Youngbloodz]

I love this man I respect this man I listen to this man I've learned from this man I wish this man was still here we need this man God-bless this man

[adamantium]

A champion for the people, a LEGIT BADASS who didn't take crap from anyone, and he was freaking HILARIOUS, a true American HERO

[elizahhoward]

I only knew of him a few months before he passed but boy I’m still learning what he left behind

[creativ.]

Truly missed a Good brother from East to West 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[kwameaboagye]

Dick Gregory is my hero.
He tells it like it is and he will make you laugh that will put you into hospital.
RIP
