“So the guy is famous, yet unknown to the general public. Thatu0026#39;s a good base. And everything goes downhill from there. Because someone calls him u0026quot;the godfatheru0026quot;. Why make it racial? If itu0026#39;s racial it means that he killed as many people as Don Corleone? No. Just someone generating click bait.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThan the famous singers are cut short. The less famous singers have a hard time putting a sentence. Thatu0026#39;s okay, they are skilled at putting out musical notes, not words. But whatu0026#39;s the point to have them there if they canu0026#39;t speak? A picture and a mention would suffice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd that is the key of this documentary. Amateurs wanted to get to movers and shakers and used this documentary as the vehicle. And thatu0026#39;s fine. A crap documentary as an excuse for doing some networking. But whatu0026#39;s the thing with the politicians? One frame with a collage and itemized mentions would have sufficed.”
