Not a fan of Branson but he's in a totally different league to those two. Branson has no real money or power *AND* he funded Radford's 1984 (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/1984-Blu-ray/240711/#Review) film which the producers copiously used clips from (now owned and supplied free by Bezos's Amazon MGM I note) . Branson did of course mess with the film's soundtrack but I wonder if the producers knew he put all the money in the film? I could pick apart other bits I didn't like as there was a lot of conflation and no notice of some complex matters and definitely nothing subtle in their biases. The soundtrack and the voiceover from Damian Lewis are brilliant. Apart from that it was a good documentary. Peck's work can be excellent like I Am Not Your Negro (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/I-Am-Not-Your-Negro-Blu-ray/173598/#Review) and Ernest Cole: Lost and Found (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27760132/reference) I haven't seen his other work but I intend to see Exterminate All the Brutes (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8396314/reference/) You will likely need subtitles there's at least 4 languages spoken although that's mostly clips. Too many clips had frames added and other AI slop adjustments which is very lazy. 6/10 https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0GPRRNPQT/ (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0GPRRNPQT/?tag=bluraycom05-21) Image: https://images.static-bluray.com/flags/US.png NEON/Decal look to have a BD-R for the US: 405177
