About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an accessible, reverent documentary blending history with present-day American perspectives and interviews; Not for you if you prefer a more skeptical, debate-driven approach like The Botany of Desire.
Pros: engaging historical overview; beautiful locations and art; moving personal stories | Cons: feels one-sided to some; limited global perspective; some claims unchallenged
