The Root That Ate Roger Williams is a peculiar documentary that delves into the strange folklore surrounding one of Rhode Island's most fascinating historical figures. The film has this intriguing, almost eerie tone, weaving a narrative that feels both educational and a bit unsettling. It explores the themes of free thought and the tension between belief and skepticism through the lens of the fantastical root. The pacing is methodical, allowing for reflection but might feel slow to some. The visuals are grounded, employing practical effects that lend authenticity to the folklore being discussed. While the director remains unnamed, the storytelling captures the spirit of Providence’s complex history and invites viewers to ponder what happens to the remnants of our past.
