Documentaries are hard for me to rate and review, especially when they deal with some heavy subject matter. But overall, this one was very good. I just wish I could have seen this one in a better quality

really fascinating subject matter and there are some really interesting and cool camera movements and effects here the boxes within the frame, text on screen, and ken burns panning are all really effective and the way people would sometimes talk over each other was interesting the only problem is that it moves really slowly and the interviews are very longwinded I probably would have edited it a little differently in that way
