As in most of Nick Peterson/Virtual Alien films so far, the presentation is different, especially for a documentary.
Firstly it is in black and white and I have read a few bad reviews as a result. This is crazy. Whenever someone is trying something different he is knocked down.
This is the same concept as the director's music albums (when he used to compose). He produces a new concept every time. Exactly like David Bowie did with music. It may take a while for most people to wake up to his films.
This documentary may suit more people into Rock music, than the standard public into African Affairs and politic.
In terms of content it is perhaps the only documentary that has managed to interview all the major players and terrorists of the oil region of Nigeria. No one has ever managed that.
Essential.
