I think this problem occurs a lot in documentary films. Good story" often trumps and distorts more accurate, nuanced depiction of the actual subject. Understandable, but problematic.

There is no such thing as history, only historians! What caused WWI? The older I get, the squishier the world gets. Very disappointing. I assumed I would know more now, not less.
