Long and unfocused

Rating: 4/10 (21 July 2002)

Perhaps the reason why this film runs two hours and twenty minutes is that after commercials are added, the film will fill the 3-hour docudrama slot on Sunday night network TV. Every underdeveloped theme in this film was done better elsewhere, and the film makers should have limited themselves to one or two themes in an attempt to create something new. I thought this was a major disappointment, and I do not see where the participation of National Geographic was of any ultimate benefit.
