Tried watching it when it was shown in 2009. It is living proof that trendy documentries are doomed to oblivion and that sometimes a period of time is needed befor the true signikficance of an historic event can be properly appreciated.

I've got this recording. Can't work out if you are saying that they have done the event justice, or it is a waste of my Sky+?

The doc was made in 1970 and seemed to concentrate on "arty" style rather than actual meaningful content. I just think it was made far too close to the events it was depicting for any sensible comment to be made on the significance of those events. Far better documentaries have been made in the decades since.
