A brief look into the workings of a modern phenomenon. As with many documentaries on this subject, it falters from the start by presenting it as entirely normal, despite having no real precedent in human history or evolution. The breaking point comes when the protagonist declares that everyone matters and that bodily autonomy is fundamental, a claim that clearly excludes unborn children, though every person alive today once was one.
This documentary is very informative, but not in the way the producers intended.
Most white people would see it and think that they should do better, but instead of listening, they should just watch, understand that you never help and always making a bad situation worse.
Never work against nature, never push the scale of evolution, you are just creating an unbalance with an impact beyond your life and ego.
Africa was in a perfect balance before white aid took hold. Misplaced altruism is always pathological, when you ignore your own tribe, what happens next to you, and go to help people on a different continent, you can be sure you are doing harm.

The mix of newsreels and the personal stories makes it seems like it's a history lesson, but comes out as subjective as asking any political activist involved to write about the Yugoslav or Cypriot wars.
The emotional aspects masks any factual mistakes or general aspects of war, it's all black and white, good vs bad. I don't want to break or make anyone victime status, but the ending is beyond laughable to anyone that knows any post war Romanian history.
The production is abysmal, the images presented have almost nothing to do with the narration, at some point the disjointed pictures makes the movie frustrating and tiresome, like searching for words in an alphabet soup.
