Has VICE never heard of checking the facts?!?
The basis for any decent documentary is that statements are checked and verified.
Well, this documentary does none of that. It just tells a story from one side in the hope that you believe it. Or at least to see what sticks to the wall. Because a lot of "facts" are thrown at the viewer that could have easily been checked with some authorities.
Why didn't they contact for instance the authorities of Belize to see what is true. Why wasn't the SEC or even the IRS asked for their opinion?! And since this is VICE - whom makes quite some documentaries on cartels - why didn't they also asked the Sinaloa cartel for their opinion.
What also would have been possible, is to have asked some security software experts to see what could have been true of McAfee's statements. How on earth could McAfee have keystroke software in computers of cartels, the U. S. government or the Belize government.
Is there not a mental illness that makes the patient believe that he is being observed and chased by the government?! So for all we know, McAfee was mentally ill?!
I find the documentary therefore a show of bad journalism. The content is though somewhat entertaining to watch. But I get the impression that is was watching more fiction than fact.
