One critical piece of the puzzle is missing

This documentary gives an interesting overview of the coincidence of the presence of cyanobacteria/BMAA in the brain tissue of some people/vervets who have ALS or Alzheimer's disease, but fails to address the more critical question of whether the cyanobacteria/BMAA actually is a cause of these diseases, the real "holy grail" of finding a cure for them.
