After the Sky Fell on Lockerbie

This was such a well done documentary. It doesn't focus on the sensationalism or the controversy, but on people recounting their memories and the positive connections they have made in the aftermath of a terrible thing. I've seen some of these people interviewed before and they seemed more comfortable here. The interviewer and crew must have had some part in that. You feel like people here were treated with respect. For example they mentioned Jeannine Boulanger's scream and collapse in the airport, but they didn't show it. They instead discussed how awful it must have been for her and others to have their grief broadcast across the world.

This isn't really a documentary. There are a few family members and friends of victims and it focuses on them and how they've done so much... yet no real mention of what they've done, just that they've helped everyone from the Oklahoma City bombing to 9/11. This barely covers the victims themselves or their stories, it doesn't cover who did it or any of the information that's come out. They do leave in a friend of someone who died talking poetically for 5 minutes about how she wasn't a victim... I don't know, it was pointless filler.

They just wanted to air a "documentary" with the mini-series they put out so they threw this together and made sure to talk about how the government failed everyone, but only in vague ways and at no time dug into what that might mean or not mean.
