@alex1798 I'd be interested in what you think of 4 & 5.

@redouaaane I feel like you missed the fact that the participants in this series had _nothing_ to do with the actual production. The actual filmmakers are _not_ featured in the series. However, they do follow Mark Vicente who _happens_ _to_ _be_ _a_ filmmaker. Also, the people in the series explain on several occasions that their motivation on getting as many people out as possible, is because they feel incredibly guilty for recruiting so many in the first place. That seems to me like a "willingness to admit their responsibility over their actions"...

@drygoatair I wanna get into the filmmakers bit but it feels like it's a pointless discussion and doesn't change what the end product is (or looks like), the more important bit is whether "helping other people" amounts to admitting responsibility. I can't tell you not to feel like that's enough, that's your own prerogative, but certainly you can understand that you can help others while still not admitting anything, right? there's a reason that this particular doc features the same people in all the episodes with minimal input provided from the people who bore the brunt of their decisions. You know why? because Joe Schmoe is not going to make them look good. If you watch or listen to podcasts not involving any of the people involved in this show (particularly Oxenberg and her daughter), you get a very different picture than it is painted here.

@redouaaane a bunch of Homers... "The guilt is mine and I put it on whoever I want".
