The entire documentary could have been 10 minutes long

In the first 10 minutes they pretty much tell the whole story of the documentary and that could have been the entire thing honestly. The rest of the 83 minutes is spent on repeating the same points over and over and says nothing new that wasn't already said in the first 10 minutes of the documentary.

This is far too repetitive and it repeats the same stuff over and over and over. We get it. The lake is shrinking, it's exposing elements in the air and it's bad for the people living nearby. You don't have to tell the same point over and over 20 times throughout 1.5 hours when you already made the same point in the beginning of the documentary.

There are YouTube videos that are only 10-15 minutes long and tell the exact same story far more efficiently and this documentary adds nothing new to the table.
