I don't want to have spoilers because this documentary will surprise you and that is a nice benefit to experience along with the large amount of information it provides.
What my wife, daughter and I liked was that the documentary shared the personal experiences of the two sisters and their parents and of a few others. That helped draw you in. It also did a good job outlining the hopes, aspirations and motives of the people who established the commune. Let me just say that they had good intentions in establishing this commune.
Having some knowledge of this commune I think the Mundo sisters left out some important details such as sanitation and hygiene problems, health and disease issues related to sanitation and to the huge consumption of soybeans and other plant material. They failed to mention the numerous wives their leader had and they skimmed over the underlying religious/spiritual tenets that led to hypocrisy.
I wanted to give the documentary a 10 out of 10 but I think in just an additional 15 minutes the sisters could have given a more thorough presentation. Still, it was a very captivating and very well directed and written documentary.
I highly recommend it.
