This is a solid, well-reviewed documentary that does exactly what it sets out to do: uncover truth and seek justice. The 100% critic score tells you it's quality filmmaking.
But let's be real—this is niche. If your teen is into journalism, photography, or true-crime-adjacent investigative stories, they'll find this fascinating. If they're not already interested in media ethics or historical documentation, they'll check their phone within 15 minutes.
The educational value is genuinely high—it's a masterclass in investigative journalism and raises important questions about attribution, power, and who gets written into history. But it's not trying to be entertaining in the traditional sense. It's enriching, thoughtful, and well-executed, but it won't compete with their TikTok feed for attention unless they're already predisposed to care about this stuff.
For the right viewer (journalism students, budding photographers, ethics-minded teens), this is gold. For everyone else, it's a well-made documentary they'll respect but probably won't finish.
