How to Watch Movie About Phil Robertson's 'Deep, Dark' Background

Those looking to watch The Blind, chronicling the life of the late Phil Robertson, have several options, including some free services.

The story of the Duck Dynasty patriarch arrived in movie theaters in 2023, thanks to his family. TV Insider described The Blind in the weeks leading up to its release as "an honest depiction as it touches on the Duck Commander creator's past struggles."

Here's everything you need to know about the movie and how it depicts "never-before-revealed" stories about Phil.

What Is The Blind About?

Box Office Pro describes the film as a biopic set in the backwoods swamps of 1960s Louisiana. It follows Robertson's life and marriage to Kay before creating the Duck Commander brand.

"I randomly stumbled upon Phil Robertson telling the deep, dark secret background of where he's been and what he's been through," director Andrew Hyatt told the website. "It just felt like, 'Wow, that's powerful stuff. That's the movie.'"

The Blind covers Robertson's alcoholism and infidelity on his way to developing the now-famous duck call brand.

Who Stars in The Blind?

Aron von Andrian plays the adult version of Robertson. He's also made appearances in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and House of the Dragon. Actress Amelia Eve portrays Kay — she is best known for her work on the TV mini-series The Haunting of Bly Manor.

How Was the Robertson Family Involved in The Blind?

Willie and Korie Robertson's production company, Tread Lively, helped bring the film to life. The company was previously involved with a documentary called Duck Family Treasure, in which a member of the Robertson clan searched for rare hidden artifacts.

PICS: See Inside Taylor Sheridan's Historic 6666 Ranch in Texas

The massive, historic Texas ranch where the upcoming Yellowstone spinoff Yellowstone: 6666 will shoot has sold for just under $200 million, and pictures show a property that is truly part of Texas history.

The 6666 Ranch — better-known as the Four Sixes Ranch — in Guthrie, Texas, dates back to 1870. The ranch centers around a 13-bedroom, 13-bathroom, 13,280-square-foot main residence, which is constructed of quarry rock that was hauled to Guthrie by wagon. The ranch also includes vast, sweeping fenced pastures, farmland, fenced-in pens for cattle, a more recent addition for horses, a water filtration plant that serves the ranch's water needs and more.

There are separate camp manager's homes in both the North Camp and the South Camp of the ranch, which encompasses nearly 225 square miles of land. Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is part of a group of investors who recently acquired the property for $192 million, and he has been shooting his new show out there in recent months.
