About
You may enjoy this if you like political documentaries with a cultural hook and the campaign-history feel of Bobby Kennedy for President or The War Room; Not for you if you want hard-hitting analysis or a broad presidential biography.
Pros: fresh political angle; strong music focus; engaging historical context | Cons: narrow scope; light critical depth; less for nonpolitical viewers
