While Robinson’s lecture is thought-provoking and his living tour of that same history is illuminating, the Kunstlers don’t add much in terms of directorial vision. Robinson is an apt orator and tour guide, but the literal translation of his lecture to screen lacks life and suffers from the inherent banality that comes with watching a recording of someone – no matter how charismatic – speaking to a live audience we are not part of.

It's hard to be sure if what you're trying to say with a film is something that needs to be said, but if you look at the user reviews on this site and they are mostly 0s, you can be sure you're on the right track.

A waste of time. Poor acting. A miserable and squeezed-out plot. It's a shame to shoot such a thing nowadays.

Yawn. How is this a documentary? The movie doesn't provide a single proof nor source of these people claims. Hearing someone story doesn't mean that they are telling the truth & a lot of the information present are clearly cherry picked.

Just more racist vitriol coming out of Hollywood to fuel tensions between the middle class while the rich get richer.
