what really happened?!
The mystery of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and whether in some fashion and for how long did she survive has been with us for decades now. This documentary presents the case that her plane survived and was held by the Japanese and that she survived too, for some years according to some witnesses from the islands. Is this what really happened? Not altogether certain for lack of absolutely hard evidence but there is enough to strongly suggest that this is part of the story and deserves attention. We may never really have a definitive answer.
How can you make an amazing story so awful?!
Seriously. This is such a fascinating and incredible topic and I couldn't even finishing watching this because it was done so poorly. I had lots of complaints but for brevity I'll just say the audio was the worst - old radio clips with music with people talking over it? Really?! Super overkill. Then the distracting watermark on everything and again, doubled audio tracks and sooooo much repetition. I get some of the repetition could be used effectively....but like the audio, there was just TOO much. This definitely needed more work with an editor. So sad because this is such a great story that so little know about. But having blaring music, old timey radio announcers talking, while other people talk at the same time is not an effective way to share information.
Pretty Conclusive
It sounds pretty conclusive to me. The eye witnesses were all ex service men, near death from old age. I don't think they were lying because they had nothing to gain. They were obviously speaking from memory, not a script. Their stories seem to mesh pretty well.
