About this movie

A rare, intimate glimpse into the life and mind of Jordan Peterson, the academic and best-selling author who captured the world's attention with his criticisms of political correctness and his life-changing philosophy on discovering personal meaning. Christened as the most influential public intellectual in the western world, University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson skyrocketed to fame after he published a controversial viral video series entitled "Professor Against Political Correctness" in 2016. Within 2 years, he sold over 3 million copies of his self-help book, 12 Rules For Life, and became simultaneously branded by some as an academic rockstar selling out theatres around the world, and by others as a dangerous threat to progressive society. THE RISE OF JORDAN PETERSON intimately traces the transformative period of Peterson's life while visiting rare moments with his family, friends and foes who share their own versions of the Jordan Peterson story.

Pretty objective , it allows both sides space to have their say. Pretty silly people tried to keep it from being seen. I even thought the director was a little biased against him, and he still came out as the more rational of the bunch. The only hate speech was the hate for him. People need to cool down and actually listen to each other

Well put together documentry. Well balanced, showing all sides and allowing many different speakers preent their views. Production quality is also very high, especially sound production. Well done. You should watch this wheteher you agree with him or not, whether you like him or not, regardless of your political or personal views, this is a good documentry about a very interesting figure.
