I posted on the IGTM KS page. Hopefully, we get one of the filmmakers in here.
The whole "Documentaries bend the truth" deal is not what is being discussed here, as many people are just coming into this thread and going "but that's what docs do". That is what they do. But the problem here is not that: it's that IGTM may have lied in the credits about someone's lack of involvement. That's going beyond just painting a picture. That's painting the picture and then saying "this is the picture".
The EXACT same thing happened with The King of Kong...

Documentaries are boring... until they are told in such a way as to have an antagonist. Everyone loves to hate the bad guy, and the director will do whatever it takes to make one.
