Documentaries are relatively cheap and easy to make compared to a feature film. They still require a huge amount of work and significant money, but its possible to come out of nowhere and make a great documentary without a huge budget or much experience. This is not one of those great documentaries. It's worth seeing because the topic is so interesting and there's no other film on the topic as far as I know, and it'soverdue, but its all over the place, and I really questions a lot of their choices. A much better film about several of the topics in this documentary could have been made. Like a lot of medicore documentaries, they touch on too many topics without really giving you any definitive history or even a consistent them. They kinda just throw it all in there. And because its a documentary and not a fictional drama, you don't notice just what a mess it is. Still worth watching, just could have been so much better if they had narrowed the focus and stayed on track instead of touching on everything under the sun, and the latest trends which may not be so relevant in a few years. I'm thinking many part of the second half will age very poorly. It certainly didn't feel remotely definitive on even one topic covered.
