Documentary: Critical Review of "Pride and Prejudiced"

This in depth documentary was showing the lifes of two opposing leaders of 1. A Political movement called the EDL (English Defence League) and 2. A Muslim activist group, which was considered to have extremist views (The name had to be changed quite often as it was being made illegal to be part of the organisation under the names they were using) The documentary showed their views and how they went about preaching their message to the people. I thought that the way the documentary gave each person equal opportunities to share their views and did not hide away anything that either person had done was very important and without doing this the documentary would have been very biased. That being said I do believe that the leader of the EDL had more of a chance to say what he wanted but I cannot be sure if it is simply because he had more time to be on camera as it followed him on his rallies around the country. Although this could just be because he is more active and less repetetive in what he does. The fact that the documentary was not afraid to show things happening that where illegal stood out to me as I did not think that they would be allowed to show such things so I thought that was a brave decision and I approved of this. The use of cutting away to seemingly level headed people was quite good because it was nice to get a level headed and thoughtful view on the situation rather than just being bombarded by everything that the two main focuses of the documentary had to say as it became tiresome seeing them repeat the same problems and policies over and over again.
