I love documentaries. I love learning about things. What I don't like is motive behind documentaries beyond education. Unfortunately most "documentaries" these days seem to have motives and lessons they are trying to give. The majority of this documentary is educational but every once in a while they'll pepper in some random commentary from a person that has nothing to do with the story to give character opinions on people or to give their opinion on how things should be done. At the end some lady is droning on about how the justice systems should have fined these people exponentially to raise money for "under privileged kids". That's not what the justice system is designed to do. To think they are going to now have to choose where that money goes and enforce that it's not going into yet another person's pocket is the real issue here. These people are just virtue signaling as most people do these days.
In summary, it's a decent enough documentary if you are interested in the subject since most of the conversations seem to be from actual transcripts and they didn't have the actors play up any of the discussions. It's the third party opinions trying to teach some lesson that bothers me.
