This review is by someone who is not an American, but has lived in the US for 8 years during her PhD and Post-doctoral education. She is not black. I see reviews here that sometimes has nothing to do with the material, but has much to do with a person's political views. I wished to put who I am out there to say that this review is not the product of my political stance or belongingness. Here it goes:
I liked this documentary, and will rewatch it. The other reviews talk about horrible editing. It did not bother me. Sometimes, living in the moment, we don't realize that historical narratives are continuously being rewritten, and edited. It is painful to revisit a past, where there is so much pain. But it should be revisited so that we understand the root of current problems and why they are so persistent, complex and challenging. We inherit great things from our ancestor and also some things we may not be too proud of. That is OK, as long as we strive to be a better version of ourselves. This is what the documentary left me with. I enjoyed it immensely. Oh! Also I now have the urge to read more of Maya Angelou.
