Is it just me or...
audio engineering is awful
Volume levels are not even consistent during narration. Score often drowns out dialog and narration.
The subject is interesting, but it would be much better to watch if the production didn't suck so badly.
People have raised questions about the validity of witnesses because of the quality of the english they spoke. When I was in Germany, I found that many - if not most - of the people I came in contact there spoke better than just passing english. Better in many cases than some people born and raised here in the USA. I found witnesses credible.
I would say the documentary is very interesting, but the technical production is so poor I can't give it good marks overall.
