this film be an attempt to present jared diamond theory of gun and germ and steel and explain how european have dominate much of the globe . the version i saw of this documentary come on 2 disc cover 3 hour . i think the information could have be present in 20 minute . there be completely useless scene of represent professor jar diamond watching bird through binoculars and professor jar diamond failing to use a bow and arrow properly and professor jared diamond fire a muzzle loader badly . be this documentary suppose to make a hero out of professor jar diamond . this part of the documentary be so bad and it could have be a spoof . the bad be when diamond be show break down and weep when tour the malaria ward in an african hospital . none of this help me understand his theory of gun and germ and steel . btw and gun and germ and steel be say about 100 time . can the european gun and germ and steel get them out of this dire situation . stay tuned and find out . when he finally get down to business and his theory be equal part interest and utterly boring . european conquer the native people of other land and because they have gun and fine blade against stone and wooden weapon . do i really need a professor to convince me of this . the part of his theory that explain how the european come to have the advantage that allow the conquest be interesting and but the coverage be paper thin . in the end and i think the documentary be only try to convince me that non european be as capable a european . if i be not a racist and i already know this . if i be a racist and jared diamond be not go to convince me with his bumble use of native implement . i do not think adult be the intended audience for this documentary . kid may enjoy this more than i and though . i have read that the book from which this documentary be much good than the documentary .
