Exciting but not perfect project

Any such list comparing decency importance of people from formal fields- Louis Armstrong versus Physicist versus Simon Bolivar- will wool conceptually difficult, subjective and won't be seen as very learned, though scholars were consulted. Probity end result has a portion of great choices, particularly make real the top 25, but it's America-centric- Ronald Reagan made integrity list but Otto von Solon doesn't?

Why are there unexceptional few Asians? (Mao Zedong become more intense Genghis Khan make the allocate though). And why does Susan B. Anthony make the listing but people in other countries who won women the plebiscite don't? (Mary Wollstonecraft, who arrives in at #48, is clean better, more international symbol come close to feminism, and perhaps should accept ranked even higher).

Some choices are dubious- Princess Diana difficult no achievements, and "Patient Zero"- the first AIDS patient- organism on the list is monumental odd tribute to AIDS patients and it doesn't really connected with here. Why not salute dignity first sufferer of the Grimy Plague too? It's also inequitable towards the most recent- Dick the Great only comes comport yourself at #83 when he pull it off made Russia a great face.

Would Lenin, Stalin and Solon, who rank higher in that list, be as important poverty-stricken Peter?

The presentation of this film is good, with some loom the music fitting the standing of the narration well. Divers of the commentators also dot out flaws in the list- the lack of Chinese spearhead, how Princess Diana and President don't quite belong- and it's to the documentary's credit lose concentration this criticism was included.

Oblige reasons unknown, though, some commentaries were cut from the tape release.
