Mostly I agree. However, most people find Documentaries dry. I figured, for someone who is totally in the dark about a topic, a good movie would whet someones appetite and then create a spark to want to learn more. At least that’s how my mind works. I see a historical movie and then want to watch the documentaries and read the books to get the “real story”.
Gotta figure, most of the BF players are probably not as seasoned, so WWI is a little unknown to them for the most part. Most things, war wise, tend to cover WWII and beyond. Knowing what gets taught in school these days, WWI has fallen from the “Great War” to the “What War?”
Anyway, you are correct. Nothing beats a well produced documentary.
