Very interesting - well edited.

The documentary on J. Edgar Hoover is a fascinating deep dive into a pivotal figure in American history. The editing is really cool and fast-paced, keeping viewers engaged as it weaves through Hoover's complex life and the controversies surrounding his tenure. I learned a lot about his impact on law enforcement and civil liberties. However, the music was a bit loud and intense at times, which occasionally detracted from the interviews and key points being made. Despite this minor issue, the film effectively provokes thought and discussion about power and privacy, making it a worthwhile watch for anyone interested in American history.
