Interesting idea. Poor sound quality. Annoying ending

Warning: Spoilers
Presents a story for how the convicts escaped, a story that seems much more plausible than the usual story. For example, in the Clint Eastwood 1979 movie the convicts worked alone, somehow evaded detection by the guards, got through difficult maneuvers where the couldn't have had any prior knowledge without help from an insider guard, and went off into the bay on a flimsy raft they couldn't have tested in advance.

In this documentary, they claim there were guards, maybe priests and muns, and outsiders helping them.

Ending is somewhat exasperating. Seems like the US Marshalls weren't actually serious about tracking down the leads. For example they went twice to the final site and neither time brought a metal detector. Really? Documentary left other significant details without any speculation to explain.

Still, an interesting idea

The sound quality is bad. You'll probably want to enable closed captions.
