Poignant portrayal of a terminally ill legend

Warning: Spoilers
Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me is a poignant and moving tribute to country and western singing star Glen Campbell in his final years. The documentary follows him on his final ever musical tour around the USA and features plenty of interview clips with friends, family, and show business types. The twist is that Campbell was suffering from Alzheimer's when this was shot, so there's plenty of reality TV-style fly-on-the-wall depictions of him struggling to remember vital things. The documentary actually charts the progression of the disease as Campbell becomes more and more unwell, ever more violent and outrageous in his behaviour. It's tragic to watch, yet handled in a careful and affectionate way.
