  Worth serious watching
  
  This is a well-shot documentary, and it took me about 35 minutes to figure out it wasn't a Blair Witch fake-umentary. It's worth watching if you want to... read more »

  Yes it will not win any oscars, and it's not much of a documentary, as in everyone is acting up for the shots, its borderline mock-doc. But put that aside ... read more »
