Excellent but underrated film

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Interesting, well-presented story of what might have actually happened - with the known facts that support this theory. Yes, it would be instructive for the viewer to see the actual documentation instead of admittedly guesswork scenes that reenact private conversations, but not many documentaries present such documents - they'd be pretty dry if they did.It does tell an engaging story about the odd events leading up to the ill-fated voyage, and present an alternate explanation of the horrible mistakes that history records - if this theory is true, the failure to launch the lifeboats until the last minute makes perfect sense.For history buffs, it's a good starting point for research. For the mildly curious, it's an entertaining look at what might have been a well-executed cover-up.

This movie is exploring a conspiracy theory about the Titanic. This is an interesting idea. However there are many problems with it. One of them being that the information is either told by the word of our host (meaning little evidence if at all) and reenactments. The "MP" on the titanic is even a bit of a stretch (because if "MP" was on the titanic people would be calling it The Olympic disaster). The courthouse reenactment scenes would have been so much more believable if they referred back to the original documents. I'm not denying that it was in the courthouse of 1912 but I think the original source needed to be shown, it would have been better because they said where they got the information from.
