I was recently skimming through Netflix and came across a new documentary series. American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden. I watched the trailer and gave it a go. And boy was I pleased I did.
The three episodes were absolutely captivating. Amazing archive, powerful interviews by all of the major players at the time but most of all I loved the editing. I reached out to Jesse Overman one of the supremely talented editors on a team of supremely talented Netflix editors who cut the series. Already a fan of Once Upon a Timeline, he came on the show and what transpired was a masterclass in documentary editing theory. Strap in for this one... it's epic.
