Personal Insights
The work, ‘Government Gangsters’, discusses the presumed conspiracies carried out by the government elites against the existing president. Its narrative is interesting but what should be highlighted is the necessity to approach it with critique borne of history and the acknowledgment of the biases therein and of how political documentaries are formed.
Cultural Significance
Much of the discussion is focused on the issues of transparency and accountability in government institutions. It responds to the public’s fear over the decaying strength of democratic order and the media’s distortion of the people’s views.
