I think the movie industry is mistaken about what documentary's are supposed to be

Definition:
A broad category of cinematic expression, traditionally the only characteristic common to all documentary films is that they are meant to be factual.

Rewriting history or events should be factual and not someone's one-sided opinion of how the see it.

But hey, it's there gig. What ever sells movies.
