The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth (2024)
Good start, but I was hoping for more depth
A short internet search shows that the $90 million that Indrani and Peter syphoned out of INX media were kept in three Mauritius companies where Sheena Bora was named as the beneficiary.
Sheena wanted to get married, which would make Rahul her next of kin and he could claim rights to these syphoned millions. Rahul had a deeply negative opinion of Indrani which eventually was assumed by Sheena as well. So Sheena had to die before she would completely get from underneath Indrani's control and could endanger the $90mil.
This documentary was very interesting, I was on the edge of my seat. However, omitting the most obvious questions made it a fail for me: if you can't give the answers you should still voice the questions, if you really are an investigative journalist.
1. So whose body was it ultimately?
2. If it's Sheena's body, who is her father?
3. Where is the cell phone tracking data of the victim and the accused on the day/time of the murder?
4. Sheena's cell phone was used after her alleged death; what was its location? The US or Indrani's apartment? Who was paying for this phone number to stay in service?
5. What was the motive for her murder?
6. Did Sheena have a will + who was the beneficiary?
7. Who would benefit from her death indirectly?
8. Where are interviews with Sheena's friends or colleagues?
9. Why wasn't more attention devoted to INX Media and its nearly immediate demise?
10. How can a murder trial last for 7 years, with hundreds of witnesses/exhibits still not presented?
Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl (2023)
Horrible.
This so-called "documentary" is probably used by counter intelligence personnel to invoke psychological torture on prisoners of war.
Apart from disjointed story, there is a lot of things that would irritate anyone: bad editing, non-existent directing, a back drop of a wannabe "it" maker who wouldn't be able to make even a voodoo doll. This was long, useless tv-product.
The most annoying thing was this Morgan person, who does his best to be as pretentious as possible.
This person definitely lives in his own little world that has nothing to do with reality.
I have only one question to the people who funded this: don't you wish you just burned your money?
How to Become a Tyrant (2021)
Excellent for younger audience
This is a limited anthology series with a goal to show the main components of tyranny in a humorous and observant way.
Dynamic, truthful, humorous, vivid.
Entertaining and informative.
It doesn't have to list all tyrants in the history of the world - otherwise, I'd be on their list.
It also doesn't have to give an in-depth analisys if each dictator. Why? Because there are plenty documentaries about these tyrants (Stalin alone has over 300 hours documentaries about him and that's just in 1986-1996 Russia), and this isn't the goal of the series - which is to show the main "ingredients" of Country a là Tyrant.
Excellent for younger audiences, gives an overall idea of how tyranny works.
Uncoupled (2022)
Awful writing
This is an assembly of random cliches, and the actors don't make it any better.
I couldn't sit through the first episode even.
It could have been so much better, taken the theme and glitzy interiors, but all the clumsy dialogues and corny jokes are unbearable.
