    I still can't 100% believe that was non fiction
    I rarely tend to review on here, and maybe I'll reflect on this review having posted during yet another moment of midweek lockdown malaise, but my initial reaction is that I can't recall ever watching a documentary with such a mixture of incredulity and respect for the 2 protagonists. Apart from them demonstrating serious cohones, the director has produced an important 2 hours, during which I sat mostly open mouthed.
