Uh, a documentary should accurately depict reality. This sensationalist piece is made up of unrealistic staged scenes in which hundreds of animals lost their lives, accompanied by eerie music and a narrator spreading falsehoods.

For instance, the scene where lemmings are depicted as committing suicide was produced in the following unethical manner: the production crew hired individuals to capture hundreds of lemmings in Canada, then herded them in front of cameras to create the illusion of a mass migration. In the subsequent shot, they were coerced into jumping off a cliff into the sea, leading to their drowning. Lemmings do not actually engage in suicidal behavior. This cannot be classified as a documentary.
