Story vs Documentary

This was one of those rare documentaries where the information given was so astounding (and in some ways new) that I was able to overlook the silly recreation scenes. I'd have much rather watched the real people explain it. I also wondered if they'd kept in touch, but there was nothing about them really, other than that they succeeded. I enjoyed it, but definitely would have had a greater impact with some insight into how it changed their lives and friendships.
