Rather Good
15 December 2023
Obviously most people know who Saddam Hussien is, how ever I like many, did not know his history, because of my age. I kinda came in on the tale end of things.

The beginning of his life was a mystery to me and this documentary film, filled in that part of his life, in great detail and at a good speed.

This documentary was very entertaining, as it presented loads of detailed facts, at a good pace and had good use of Arabic music through out, in order to transport you to the world of Iraq.

I really enjoyed this documentary and will even watch it again, as there are lots of details, that I may have over looked.

A Revelation
2 November 2023
I have watched so many documentary films, on the mafia and organised crime, and having watched so many, I end up getting a lot of the same information, over and over again.

With this documentary film, that was not the case at all, as I have never seen a documentary, that goes way back to the very beginning of how the mafia started. I guess I thought a bunch of people got to together and decided to be criminals.

I had no idea that it was born out of the turbulent times that Sicily went through, in its past history, so yes this documentary was a bit a revelation and I am so glad I watched it, as it adds context to all the other mafia documentaries I have ever watched.

An Eye Opener

I have never been a fan of the zombie films, so it is fair to say, that zombies are not something, I am interested in.

How ever, because this documentary film is entitled "How It Could Happen", I thought I would give it a go and see if there is any way, that plausibly such creature could exist.

What surprised me the most, is that having watched this documentary film, I find myself saying "OK maybe this could actually happen", which I guess changes the zombie film, from being a silly mystical horror, to almost being that of science fiction, which is a genre I am much more interested in.

Perhaps I may check some zombie films out.

I have an interesting relationship with religion, in that I still have an open mind about it, so I find documentaries that are fair and in the middle, very interesting and I would probably classify this documentary in that way.

We have all heard of Jesus Christ, but who he truly was, is the great mystery, that surrounds him.

I found this documentary, to be fair, as it asked questions, with out making acussations. It rather opens the discussion, in many original ways, that creates, a thought process, around,this mysterious man, who has helped so many around the world, with their belief.

Well edited thought prevoking piece of film.

Nuclear War (2022)
9/10
Fast Paced Adventure and Education
22 December 2022
I absolutely loved this fast paced documentary, that delivered serious educational entertainment, with all the drama, that is necessary, when talking about nuclear war and the end of the world.

Some great effects, and some serious illustrations, that help explain the history of the weapons, that god should not have let us develop.

This documentary gets technical on the science, but does not get too bogged down by it, to the extent, that it forgets the human, and political side of the story.

This documentary is very well rounded in that respect, and therefore does not fall into the trap, that many documentaries do, on scientific issues like this.
