I really liked it. Beautifully made film. But it just rides on shock value. It doesn't have anything interesting to say about the topic.

My takeaway was civil war isn't something to be desired in any way, not even journalists who might gain (money, work, notoriety) regardless of the outcome.

The shock seems to be the point.

Quite different from all the documentaries my dad was really into about the US civil war. (Many of which lionized the southern generals.) Or annoying "states rights" points that he seems to have picked up from some YouTube gutter.
