About
You’ll likely connect with this if you want a sobering, people-first disaster documentary that also confronts systemic inequality and government failures; Not for you if you prefer a purely factual timeline without debate or strong viewpoints, like Trainwreck: Woodstock '99.
Pros: powerful survivor accounts; urgent social context; hard to forget | Cons: uneven episode cohesion; conventional presentation; some interviews feel rough
