Review of Alexandria: The Greatest City

This was a very good summary of Alexandria's history. Of course, there is always more to tell but no one can capture everything in a short hour. This was a fine piece describing the fascinating streams of influence and the great scholars that studied there and made Alexandria the jewel that it was. Most people do not know who Hypatia was. I appreciate the narrator taking the time to explain her significant contributions. We are facing an eerily similar challenge, as people who consider themselves to be righteous turn away from science and call for the banning of books. This is an important story to tell and to tell in a compelling way, which is what this documentary did.
