BOOM!
A documentary about a series of bombings in London in 1999, aiming at minority groups.
This was a boring one. There honestly wasn't really much to the story in the first play. Most parts in the documentary were seen before. There was a person who was a spy within an far-right group. He was potentially interesting, but then there wasn't much revealed from his aspect.
The biggest problems here are that the themes felt underwhelming and I didn't learn much about the event. Except for the spy guy, the other interviewees were all not interesting. Many times in this documentary I was bored and looked at phone instead. For only an hour and 12 minutes, it still felt long.
Overall, it's better to just watch some YouTube videos or go to Wiki to learn about the event. 4/10.

There's certainly an interesting doco in here but it's very poorly produced.
None of the participants in doco are identified and producers try to be way too cute in how it's all presented.
Subject is interesting but program presentation lets it all down.

Some parts of the doc will make you think the clips were from pre-World War II but no, surprisingly from 1999, which in the grand scheme of things, isn't too long ago. Makes you wonder how much hatred exists in this world, and how openly so.
It's only 70ish mins, so I feel like this was an opportunity missed to tell the story about the larger picture in Britain but they chose to give a brief summary of the entire set of events, so it didn't really feel like a 'hunt'. There are so many movies, tv shows and docs about the events that happen in the US, but a sizeable audience hardly knows what's going on in the UK.
Could have been a 4 part doc, but sure. A short one is fine too.

Just boring, not important scenes. No USA forced drama but the harsh facts just don't seem interesting.
Could have been a lot better.

What these people did, and their ilk, deserved nothing less than the death sentence. Despicable excuse for human beings.
But once has to ask. Why now? With tensions in the world reaching critical mass, why now choose to bring this story to the globe. Just something to think about.
