Documentaries? Yes, several.

"Good" documentaries? Sadly, not really.

Some include some great stuff but none are comprehensive enough to be satisfying for the fans.

A few have been released to home video. I have:

- Prince: Unauthorized - 50 min, VHS, Simitar Entertainment, 1992

- Prince: The Reign Of The Prince Of Ages - 60 min, DVD, Visionary Entertainment, 2004

- Prince: The Glory Years - 85 min, DVD, Umbrella Entertainment, 2011

- Slave Trade: How Prince Re-Made The Music Business - 151 min, Pride Productions, 2014

The BBC produced 1 or 2 decent documentaries in the 80s/90s, if you can find them.

I would also recommend the Best Buy exclusive version of Original 7ven's Condensate. It came with a bonus DVD documentary of The Time/Original 7ven.
