The Disciple: A Wu-Tang Fable is now streaming on Netflix, following its October 16 premiere. Joanna Natasegara makes her feature directing debut with a documentary about Tarik Azzougarh, the Dutch-Moroccan rapper and producer better known as Cilvaringz, and his improbable route from devoted fan into Wu-Tang Clan’s

creative circle. The film follows the making of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the album designed to exist as a single copy rather than circulate through ordinary music distribution. That decision turns a recording project into an argument about artistic value, ownership and the relationship between a fan and the people

who inspired him. The RZA appears as a subject and executive producer. Netflix’s release gives viewers access to the documentary about the album; it does not mean the album itself has become a conventional streaming release. The distinction matters for anyone arriving chiefly to hear the music. Image: Tarik Azzougarh /
