Ken R This should have been an easy watch about a great film but the production values are so bad it is rendered almost unwatchable. To be sure, the producers spoke to almost every single significant person involved in the making of the film but the viewer is constantly distracted by the poor shooting, lighting and sound. They rarely, if ever, put an actual microphone on somebody's shirt or lapel so it sounds like they're recorded from across the room...which, in many cases, they are. They put one interviewee up against a full-on day-lit picture window and then don't light him at all so his face remains in semi-shadow. The list of rookie production mistakes is practically endless (no, that's unfair to rookies), making this film annoying rather that enlightening. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
