Review by petvarmintomoon

This was an incredibly well put together and researched documentary, I'm incredibly impressed by how dedicated everyone involved was to telling the true story of these ten lost people. The inspection of the log transcripts, the careful calculations to figure out the ship's path, the interviewing of the descendants, it was all amazingly detailed. I especially was impressed by the inclusion of the interviews, which included a section of clearing the names of the German crewmen involved after a movie directly named them as vicious mutineers, and the part where one of Briggs's descendants mentions how she doesn't think people realize how all the wild speculation affects the families of those lost who just want real closure rather than tall tales about aliens and fingers being pointed at two specific crewmen for their country of origin. She was right, as it certainly wasn't something I had thought about before. I highly recommend watching this documentary as not only is it just a good and entertaining documentary despite what that other review says, it also does a good job of finding a solid, down-to-earth, real explanation of what happened.
