I actually liked the documentary and I was surprised about what I saw and what I thought I knew about the island,I always thought that it's a dream island and never though of what might be the the every day struggle for the people who live there.However,I didn't see any good landscape shot when it is a very unique and beautiful island. and this what made think that he didn't tell the whole story.
