A documentary film is a non-fictional, motion picture intended to "document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education, or maintaining a historical record".
If you watch it from the perspective that this is a one-sided opinion piece and not a documentary, you'll enjoy it a lot more than if you take this as an account of the actual historical facts.
As a documentary, the film starts exploring a certain subject in the film but completely fails to show the 'big picture' or even the whole story. I will use a fictitious example to convey how the documentarian approached this film. It's like reporting "Man has been arrested while sitting in his own couch at home" and continuing "...the police aggressively broke down his door and yanked in out of the couch.", but the problem being that the documentarian left behind the rest of the reason why he was being arrested "...sitting in front of his wife's corpse, holding a knife with blood all over his hands and clothes. The neighbors heard the screams and called the police". If a documentarian uses just the former "Mas has been arrested..." headline, they are failing to tell and document the actual story.
In this case, the documentarian is (in my fictitious example) one of the man's best friend and want to make sure the audience knows the man by other means and not be defined by the fact he murdered his wife.
I try as much as possible to not get involved in politics but when it comes to documenting history, I can't stay silent and say there's a lot of things missing on this docufiction.
