The Takedown: American Aryans

When will producers and directors learn that they need to edit themselves.

A good indication that a documentary needs some heavy edits is when the documentary repeatedly shows the same scenes and pictures over and over again.

Another indication is storylines that may be somewhat interesting but really add nothing to the story.

This documentary is guilty of lots of scene padding that ultimately slows down the pacing and makes the documentary less interesting.

Four episodes was way to long considering how they decided to approach the subject. This could have been wrapped up in two episodes had they focused on compact, impactful storytelling instead of the meandering that is present here.

Feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.
