Where to stream Val Kilmer’s emotional documentary about his life

As I received the heartbreaking news about Val Kilmer’s passing at 65 today, his recent 2021 documentary, “Val,” now strikes me as an even more profound reflection of the legendary actor’s life journey and enduring impact on Hollywood.

Under the joint leadership of directors Leo Scott and Ting Poo, this highly praised movie delves intimately into the everyday world of the actor famous for Batman Forever, showcasing previously unseen clips and photos from across four decades of his acting journey.

As a dedicated gamer, I found myself deeply engrossed in a biopic that delved into the personal life of one of my favorite actors. This game-like narrative took me on a journey through his health battles, specifically his diagnosis with throat cancer back in 2014. It was eye-opening to witness how he had to take a step back from the industry due to these challenges.
