You’ll likely enjoy this if you like patient, fly-on-the-wall documentaries about institutions and big public debates, similar to Ex Libris; Not for you if you want a tight story, quick pacing, or lots of campus activism.
Pros: immersive campus snapshots; wide range of voices; often enlightening | Cons: very long runtime; lots of meetings; can feel boring
