Missed opportunity?
17 April 2023
This is a good example of how hard it can be to make a good documentary.

Dramatic well known event is not enough. First hand footage is not enough. Decent interviews, not enough.

Reason? No story, no one to follow through the before-during-after (i.e. The storm that destroyed the theme park which at least for me is the main subject) So... why should the audience care? Yes it's been tragic: people lost their lives, houses, job and so on. Nothing that we already know from the news.

What is this about? The city? The them park? Local residents? Politicians? Joy and fear and trust?

The interviews are disjointed, no way I can follow someone train of thoughts when they mention places, names I have no idea about because they werent introduced in a meaningful way

Transitions to different scenes too sudden: especially the storm scene and the visit to the devastated theme park.
