Name: The Lost World of Communism
Genre: Documentary
Released: 2009-03-14
Rating: 7.5
Cast: Michael Pennington, Hagen Koch, Ursula Rumin

The documentary concerns three episodes with the first two concerning them with life in East Germany and Czechoslovakia respectively. However, we get to know nothing in detail about the political systems in place or insight into historical characters. All we have is testimonies from random people that the documentarians found. And these aren't chosen from statistically random. Almost all of them had a negative view of the past (which is ironical because there is a resurgence of nostalgia for communist era in some Eastern bloc countries); the BBC couldn't have chosen a more biased viewpoint.

A documentary ought to project facts and instill upon the viewer something new, something previously unseen. This documentary is just old regurgitated stuff. And the worst part than it being biased? It is boring to see.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
