"This is a great documentary; the best and probably definitive one about the American Civil War. "

"This movie has a great concept about a modern civil war. And conveys it well, but I felt like the story should've been more impactful. After watching the movie when thinking about what I just watched. I ended up thinking about everything that was shown. All the lives loss, all the destruction and the thought that this could easily be our future if not careful. But what I should've remembered was the moral of the story. Which this film doesn't really tell you. It's mainly "show don't tell"; which can be great if there's a good balance. I just felt kinda detached to the world they were in since they put us in the story not before the civil war started but during it. Detaching me from the characters a little bit."
