@Ferg,
PBS doc. on the Blues was done in 7 parts. Here is the film that Martin Scorsese made for it.



titled and with Spanish language subtitles(perhaps to prevent youtube from yanking it).I saw the entire series and I really liked Scorsese's approach.

Many here have voiced displeasure with the AMC doc. about the mob because of short cuts, fabrications, lies,"celeb experts".I'm guessing AMC is doing these things to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.

My buddies and I have a running joke about documentaries done about African subject matter..we laugh because the "experts" they choose, shortcuts,fabrications,etc are always blatantly to appeal to a wider audience. And it's done to an almost comedic level. Scorsese didn't use any of these tricks.
