If you view this because you're a fan of F1, you'll realize quickly that you can find better material elsewhere. If you want to learn about Jackie Stewart, this is barely OK, and there is just a little bit new. But, if you want a LOT of gratuitous screen time of Stewart's wife, you've come to the right place.
There is some new information about Jackie Stewart, but it could be better presented in about 20 minutes, instead of this dolorous plod through melodramatic muck. Also, a great deal of this material is taken from earlier documentaries, so is this done to bring it to a new audience, or is it done, ostensibly, to tell us something we didn't know before? The obvious answer is that it's done to sell programming while the subject might still capture enough interest to sell commercial time during it's broadcast. Ultimately, it's a lazy effort.
The movie-maker/ interviewer(s) insert themselves too often, obviously seeking to drive a narrative, spice things up, or allude to or imply something that otherwise isn't brought up by the subjects of the documentary.
This is, at best, a 20 minute documentary dragged out to....... FAR too long. And, the director, writer, producers managed to make it boring.
