Ain't Too Proud

Ain't Too Proud - The Life and Times of The Temptations traces the extraordinary journey of the Temptations, from the streets of Detroit to the Hall of Fame.
The American group has earned its place at the top of the charts, thanks to emblematic dance movements and unmistakable harmonies.
We discover their meeting, their rise as well as the conflicts which threatened to tear the group apart. All this while the United States is also experiencing great civil unrest.

It is therefore a story of brotherhood, loyalty but also betrayal. All to the rhythm of the songs "My Girl", "Get Ready", "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and many more.
