The Disciple follows the making of a one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang album

The Disciple is now streaming on Netflix after its October 16 release. Joanna Natasegara directs the documentary, which follows the story behind Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.

Netflix’s title page identifies Cilvaringz’s path from fan to collaborator as a central thread. The film connects that personal journey with the creation of an album whose unusual release became an international talking point. RZA is among the executive producers listed in the distributor’s production notes. The project sits at the intersection of music history and documentary filmmaking; this news item reports its release rather than offering a viewing-based review.
