The Exploration and Conquest of America, but.....

I post this having watched most of it and feel a certain sense of obligation. However, I take this as example of poor example of a historical documentary. Not that I disagree with the premises, but the thesis and the timeline presented is disjointed and broken. More so, the film goes from providing historical comparisons, to social commentary, back to history, and then to social commentary.

That said, the first 20 to 30 minutes are interesting enough.
