Watched all three episodes last night, Kurt. Intended to watch just one, but I couldn't stop. Excellent and detailed.

and Kevin Millar was really the star! such a great character. Yeah, it is really solidly built. There's not much out there that's this well put together. I found it riveting and I have no rooting interest in the Red Sox.

Research was the key. They knew every story beat and explored it. The editing was tight, too. I laughed out loud when Millar, corrected on what he was asked on ESPN all those years ago says, "Oh, then yeah, he had a right to be mad." The guy is interview gold.
But overall, that film was a master class on sticking to your story, keeping it simple, and maintaining pace. I've watched 60-minute docs where I started to lose focus at the 20-minute mark. This kept me locked in for three straight hours.
Cheenee
Cheenee - Indian resilience shapes Caribbean culture through dance and architecture.
Trailer: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/671272947/cc68b6ff96
In Hindi, “cheenee” means sugar—the resource behind the forced relocation of thousands of Indians to Trinidad and Tobago as indentured servants in the nineteenth century. Cheenee is the story of how Indian immigrants struggled, and later flourished, building communities and developing distinct architectural styles in the Caribbean.
Through the lens of architecture, dance, and photography, this documentary artfully explores how these immigrants, once displaced, overcame hardship and flourished, leaving an indelible mark on the Caribbean's culture and landscape.
