The only choice that I wasn't fond of was the sticks that represented bones, despite knowing what they were, it took a couple of seconds for it to register. Apart from that, the film did a great job at capturing the immediate aftermath of the accident.

I believe it has been shortlisted for the Best Animated Short Film Oscar by way of winning a prize on the film circuit. I doubt it will win, but I wish for the best.

As I mentioned, if it brings awareness to history and such, I'm all for it. But there's already some straight up documentaries out there. This can maybe be compared to Ford vs Ferrari compared to an actual documentary about LM '66.
