Mr. Death (not "Dr. Death") is a documentary full of long interviews with the original participants in the controversy. It's not a cartoon and it's not some kind of reinactment. As far as accuracy goes, it's probably at least as good as the sources you mentioned.

"Not only that, a *movie* now constitutes original "source material"! And not having attended said *movie* subjects a soul to beratement for daring to discuss the issues raised."

Since the issue raised was the content of the movie in question, I would definitely say that you would need to have seen the movie to make an intelligent comment on it.

Until you actual see the documentary, your criticism of the content of the film is just a lot of hot air.
