I Called Him Morgan

Kasper Collin’s documentary masterfully intertwines jazz history and a gripping true-crime narrative to recount the poignant tale of Lee Morgan, a trumpet virtuoso, and his common-law wife, Helen, who fatally shot him in a New York bar in 1972. Enriched with a treasure trove of archival footage and fresh interviews, the film paints an evocative portrait of both the artist’s brilliance and the tragic events that led to his untimely demise. I Called Him Morgan (2016) offers a compelling narrative. You can now stream and watch it online for free on platforms like cineby and 123Movies.
