Does it matter IF some revere these monsters? The movie absolutely condones and glorifies the atrocities - it's lets these guys have a chance to clear their conscience and have their victims forgive and even thank them for their brutal murders - this doc is a classic example of "Just because you CAN do something (have fun with mass-murderers YAY!) doesn't mean you SHOULD do something...this doc, through it's fun "camp?" treatment of killers, and it's lighthearted style with a subject so deadly serious, makes the documentary itself a war crime...the film is an atrocity..I feel slimy for watching it.
