I have a rule. I rate documentaries with:
7 if it is great.
6 if it is good.
5 if it is less than good.
The reason is: Docs have lower ceilling and higher floors, because they are all at least an extensive view/opinion on something (even if it is morally or factually wrong), and at most they are all edits of real life (no matter how long the doc is and how factual it is, there is subjetivity and therefore not the real thing).
Ok. Keanu Reeves is the voice-over for some reason. He does a good job (why wouldn't he?). This one is good, because it is informative but it asks questions of the official story. The subject matter is interesting in and on itself (basically, freedom and justice), but the guys behind the doc doesn't watch and tell, they make an effort to give you more without answer for you the question "it was this fair or there is more behind this than "break the law-prison"?".
