Swayze’s brother, Don Swayze, also got interviewed for the documentary, and he shared details about the actor's life and childhood that his fans have never heard.

The late actor’s career took off after he danced his way into the hearts of movie lovers in “Dirty Dancing” in ’87 as “Johnny Castle,” and in 2017, the movie celebrated its 30th anniversary. For the celebrations, a limited video collection box was made available, and it contained exclusive footage in the bonus features.
