I think that the lure is the "controversy" associated with AKA and DST. Here it is, almost one hundred years later, and people still have their panties in a bunch about what did/did not, may/may not have happened.

NONE of us will truly know what happens until we make it to the "Upper Room" and are able to ask our illustrious founders for ourselves. Considering that MEMBERS of both orgs. may not have every single fact, I doubt that some outsider, regardless of how much reading and research that he may have done, can "enlighten" the masses on anything. His films can only be based on hearsay and conjecture.

I would consider viewing the films, just to see what the big deal is and to possibly get a good laugh. Whatever he presents can only be taken with a grain of salt. I'm sure interests will take it as law, but that's their business. AKA has its version of the split, just as DST has its version. Either way, it's cool because it is OUR truth. Our historians put in work to present the most accurate facts they could to us. As members of our respective orgs., we can take what is presented, as well as continue to research and learn more about our orgs. That's something that a film can't do for us. His goal is to entertain and turn a profit, not educate. If so, he would have tried to get support from our Corporate Offices.

For all I care, he can make movies about us every year until eternity. It just goes to show that our popularity is still going strong.
