This is an amazing story, incredibly well-told. The script, the visual story-telling and the acting are all first class. It's well worth watching to understand how we, as humans, get sucked in by the rhetoric of a "government". This aspect of our collective history has not changed since Hitler was alive. It's current in China, and even was operating in the USA when Trump was present. It's not hard to draw these parallels. I loved the decision to go B&W! - it makes it all that much more palatable for us to digest the relevance to our own time.
