A good documentary film teaches, informs the viewer about the subject, and in the process, possibly even entertains the viewer. With that thought as a basic starting point before viewing this film, as I had no preconceived notions or biases, I was drawn in to the story presented by the films creators. The three men portrayed by the film are genuine, and REAL. Not without their individual flaws, neither are they supposed to be perfect, because the film is about so much more than them as an individual or group as a whole. I had just been sheer coincidence happened to be scrolling through an app that I had just downloaded on my TV and the poster looked interesting so I saved it and it wasn't until a day or two later that I finally got around to watching it, and I've got to say I'm really glad that I did! The object that they have found is of biblical importance and completely underrated hardly any mention of it and internet searches that I have conducted which is a shame in itself. So I would have to give this a five star rating not only for the content but for how I was drawn into the story and as a documentary it's supposed to make a person think or at the very least teach the view or something and this does so much more than that. My only critique would be that I wish that the producers would have marketed it more or brought it into the consciousness of the at least the American society in general more in order to bring more awareness to the movie itself. So in conclusion, five stars! Great job! ...and can we see a follow-up?
