The film has this unique blend of archival footage and fresh, raw material shot by the students, giving it a grassroots vibe. You can feel their passion and curiosity bubbling over the surface. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which works in its favor—like a trip that meanders through thoughts and ideas. Themes of consciousness and technology are peppered throughout, making it distinct in its approach to documentary storytelling. It’s not just a history lesson; it’s almost a conversation with the past.
