Feels like an exploitation series of interviews with many generic canditates, all for Kamau to stay 'relevant'.
So many (actual)documentaries already cover all the topics here. But Kamau Bell lazily, typically and passively used (many generics including a 'youtube uploader' of old black films, a very dim Godfrey and some of his elitist pc friends) people as a tool - many of them who have no link with this story at all - to interview. Kamau Bell used his rich network he has gathered as the generic safe 'comedian' (so ironic) he is, slapped a colourful poster on the whole thing and bam : here you are, keeping your own name 'relevant' by abusing someone else's disaster - be it of the victims or of the perpetrator.
An evening conversation you would imagine a pc elitists group with the odd tokens seated at a table with vintage wine discussing the topic in a cliché, biased and generic manner.
Let's record that and call it a 'documentary'!
So cheap, so safe, so cowardly done. And above all, it does not add anything that has not been documented already.
The rule of adding 'content' should be : If you don't have anything original or new to add, just fall back and let someone with urgency speak up. Just because you can grab the mic, doesn't mean you should. Be kind.
