The Rise of Jordan Peterson (2019)
Masterful work of journalistic integrity; an unbiased perspective
This film establishes a narrative of truth superimposed over the contemptuous issues and Jordan Peterson's rise as a cultural icon. The filmmakers found key elements of Peterson's rise as an intellectual thinker and remained dedicated to showing the audience the complexity of Jordan Peterson as a human being. Those for and against Peterson are given a reasonable platform to express their views without taking things out of context. It would be surprising for a rational individual to walk away from this documentary not having their opinions on Peterson fundamentally altered and even his most divisive critics should understand Peterson as a compassionate individual with a genuine desire to enhance society at the level of the individual. His net positive impact on society is remarkable, but that is not say he is a man without fault. The documentary shows you that even the good doctor would admit this, but his humility captures you in a warm way.
