Felt like it was catered to people who already agree VS those who don't agree.

I hate that I am giving a low review for this movie... but I want to be honest.

The content of the documentary/film was good, clear, and delivered well. if you were listening and actually agree.

I was looking forward to this film and right off the back I wonder if they were lacking budget or just wanted to make it simple.

1. Black and White vs Color. I know there was a reason for the black and white. but I would have preferred color... why? cause it sticks out. when they were going back and forth in history. it would have really highlighted the black and white scenes for us to listen to.

2. Graphics. Like many of the documentaries that are projecting the left agenda I wish there were fun graphics that we could screen shot and show. I know this is preference. But when I see a documentary like "13". It's those graphics that really speak louder than words.

3. Explanations Like I shared in the beginning. I think the speakers did a good job explaining. But I cannot remember some of the points they made. I would need to go back and listen carefully. I would have enjoyed it if they had a "fun enthusiastic person share" a voice over while showing graphics.

4. Who was the audience? I share my points and reviews because I think this film does bring alot of very important points and questions. However I felt that this documentary was catered to and made for the conservative/black/republican/christian/libertarian group. Which in that case they succeeded. But then I can see the other side being bored and disconnected.

5. Resource Acknowledgments of materials, places, and resources to help others do their own research. Everyone mentioned resources but was not very clear. Wished towards the end there was something saying if you have been questioning and need a safe place to talk, because it is a very divisive convo, it would have been cool if this film shared some of those places.

If I was a foreigner and I watched 13 vs Uncle Tom... I think I would have been more compelled to believe int he narrative of 13.

At the end. As a libertarian asian American Christian. I enjoyed the film. But I know my left leaning friends would have not. and its because this film under delivered compared to its predecessors.
