Informative, but with the mentioned caveats

8/10

"I had never heard of this disaster. Surprising, since we just made a trip to LA and took a guided tour of the very area where this occurred. Technical flaws aside, it is well worth the time to watch and learn about an event that help forge greater safety in dam building. Sadly, people drive by daily and have no idea what those chucks of concrete are or anything of this sad story. I appreciate the dedication of the filmmakers in trying to educate and to honor the victims of this disaster...."
