    I went into the film with an open mind. After some aspects seemed suspect, I researched the claims and found out that there was a lot of misinformation.

      Thanks! I've been a musician for about 18 years or so, mostly just as a hobby. I would like to post the various songs on this video and other works in their entirety, probably after my next completed video. I'm completing the writing/researching stage now.
