That’s what documentaries are about, a point of view of the people who made it. Yes, they all have a bias.

This is true of all media. The people who create it always inject some bias into how it is created and published.

Agree, you could say the same thing about books. Documentaries get you into the head of their creator and can surface information to research later. They shouldn’t be seen as objective fact, the format just doesn’t allow for it.
