Even though this didn't feel like a right-wing produced doc aimed at taking down the left, the lack of context and the rigidness of its message didn't make it all that trustworthy. No doubt the stories of the people involved are valid, they certainly felt genuine, but the experience of five people isn't really enough to make broad statements about an entire generation.
Yes, the social justice/woke movement no doubt sparked cases of victim mentality and no doubt some people were hurt in the process, but this doc skips a few steps. There are some interesting takes here and the stories told deserve to be told, but not in isolation and not without more proper scientific grounds.
