🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Documentary about a subject that matters but rarely gets an honest look. The director doesn't pretend to be neutral — rightly so. Neutrality on important subjects is cowardice.
Slow, detailed, without sensation. Not for those wanting impressions — for those wanting to understand.
For those who want to understand a subject, not just hear about it. Entertainment content fans — wrong place.
Director: Johan Grimonprez
