This documentary was done very well in the way that it tells the story. It is so hard to show what really happened when you don't have pictures or videos. I think they choose to do the right thing with having the animations to show the parts that they didn't have other film to work with. They also did a great job of showing all the perspectives of the people involved. They had the perspective of the hostages, and the kidnappers, politicians, families of the hostages, the men that went on the rescue mission, etc. It was cool that they got Jimmy Carter, the president at the time to do some interviews and reflect on his time as a president while trying to bring the hostages home. I also enjoyed all the interviews that they had to tell the story the way it really happened.
