    Doesn't let you breath
    Fascinating story, fails to grab hold as it speeds by. Edited at such rapid pace it feels breathless and fractured. I get that is representative of early films, but this fails. I had to stop and catch my breath. Shots fly buy, graphics punch into your eyes. Nothing seems to come together or to rest or a respectful pause and allow the viewer to think or appreciate what an amazing pioneer Alice was. Stressed out by this documentary.
