This is history. It is important history. It's worth going over again. I'm familiar with less than half of the events. It's interesting to see the rest of the story and it has some interesting bits of behind-the-scenes. The conceit is that these are personal diaries of the participants. There are certainly some internal thoughts being expressed. I don't know if anything is being held back or if it has the full depth of opinions. It's compelling history and as a movie, it is compelling drama.
