Saw this tonight. It was remarkable. It's almost completely comprised of actual footage and veteran interviews from the 70s. Obviously they had to fudge the sounds, but were as faithful to what things would have sounded like as possible, including using forensic lip readers to identify the words being spoken and then having people from the correct regions of Britain actually record the dialogue. There was a half hour bit at the end of the picture where Jackson described how it was made. Hats off to him for taking the time to tell this story so well. Can't imagine it'll be much of a money maker for him.
If you are a history buff, I highly recommend it.
