Whether or not there is justice come the end of the documentary - you'll have to wait and see. I greatly benefited by going into this film completely cold, but at the end of the day, this is a story that happened not so long ago, and most people will know how these events unfolded. I really wish there was less storytelling and more creativity, but alas, what is left is a run-of-the-mill documentary that presents a great story, but little else. - Joel Kalkopf Read Joel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-assassins-did-two-girls-really-commit-political-assassination
