Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men is a four-episode American documentary television series that premiered on Showtime on May 10, 2019.[1] The documentary was created by Sacha Jenkins and tells a story of the New York–based hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan from their earliest times to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the group.
The four sixty-minute episodes, all nine living members of the group are interviewed, as well as footage from 2004 featuring the late Ol' Dirty Bastard are shown.
