“Most documentaries I have seen lately (on a variety of topics) have been one-sided, so itu0026#39;s fine if you know that going into it. This was well done, though, and shed a lot of light on current events, but also the events leading up to the explosive times we now find ourselves in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e***I took slight issue with the Assata Shakur and Angela Davis section. Do your research and find out why their portrayal is controversial for some (Shakur more than Davis).***u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think everyone should watch this one. Empathy and kindness towards the oppressed will only come for some if they would just educate themselves just a little bit, and then continue on to educate themselves further. We all have much work to do.”
