Welp, looks like it's time to finally watch this. Thanks for the nudge, EU.
For those of you that have watched it, how is it? I've heard some great things, some really bad things, and it's hard to pick out the propaganda (from both sides) and know if this is at all historically accurate. Thanks.
I watched it and I don't exactly believe the narrative it made but what it did do for me is open my eyes to how easy it is to push any narrative you want. It is a compelling narrative from a different perspective than convention and that made me realize how easy it is for anyone to push any narrative with enough will to do so. I think watching this was the final trigger for me in being like "damn, I really need to start questioning history more instead of just believing what the conventional thought is on it."
There's definitely some angles for certain events that are more plausible than the conventional thought on the matter. Not everything is stretching to suit one's worldview or bias. But some of it is likely a little far-out there but I found it wasn't necessarily presented as objective fact but more like "consider this".
If you're already at the point where you believe you've been lied to about every major event in the last century at least, I don't think you'll take too much away from the video but it still might be worth a watch even just from the lens of a fictional documentary on the past. It's interesting/entertaining for that alone.
