Perhaps this should be under the heading of 'my taste' which obviously may not be for everyone, but I firmly believe that in order to be effective, documentaries (which for the record I have not written or worked on) must reveal some essential truth. Yes, if someone is telling lies and/or committing fraud, it's good that such activity is exposed for what it is. But if I were going to be a documentarian, I would want to use that act of exposing as a springboard to revealing essential truths. Challenging? Of course, but so is making any good movie.

Good point, Doug. That’s why I think these pictures do have merit, as I wrote. I learned about Lincoln and the leftist racists.
