The documentary serves as an exercise in postmodern skepticism rather than a tool for advancing diverse social identities. It prioritizes the interrogation of government transparency and technical facts over addressing identity-based issues. While the film effectively challenges the authority of Western institutions, it lacks the necessary intentionality to address social hierarchies. The narrative structure focuses on historical skepticism, missing opportunities for broader representation.
