My Take
It’s a documentary. It is what it is. I thought it was well done. The fact that the lone surviving Palestinian was interviewed made it much more interesting than it would have been otherwise. This was a huge international event that will be infamous throughout history. This documentary helps shed some light on the subject. I look forward to watching the movie
Should You Watch???
If you are at all interested in history like I am, then you should watch. There are a few graphic images of the dead at the end of the documentary, but I’ve seen worse. In my view, real events are always more interesting than fictional stories. It’s a documentary, so it’s not like your normal movie. Know that before you watch, and you should benefit from watching this documentary. I would say you’ll enjoy it, but how can you really enjoy watching terrorism?
Popcorn Rating
Buttered Popcorn (Although I would think it’d be hard to eat popcorn while watching)

Great review; you are really kicking it up a notch. I have not seen this, but a movie that I would recommend is Munich. It is a great movie and would probably be a great follow up to this documentary because it is a movie based on the events. Then you could do a comparison. Although documentaries are often slanted as much as your average movie based on the true events.
