Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Available on Prime Video, iTunes
Jiro Uno owns a small sushi bar in the heart of Tokyo. Amazingly, this tiny place has earned a three-star Michelin rating -- the world's most coveted restaurant honor. David Gelb's camera follows the 80-year-old chef and his two sons as they buy, prepare, and serve their exquisite fare. Testimony by a restaurant critic, former employees, and the family members themselves describes the history, the constant quest for perfection, and the endless commitment required of them. Jiro's story is a simple one -- born in poverty, on his own from the age of 7 -- it's a tribute to what a person of great integrity and drive can accomplish.
