My “roll my eyes and raise my brows” response goes on full alert anytime documentaries like this are produced. Zero interest in it for me. Of course though, conspiracy theories sell big time, bring in some easy money, and get all the bait fish out there in a spinning frenzy.
Exactly my thought too when I saw it. I smell a conspiracy... among media to promote a documentary and also increase page hits. More advertising revenue!

I remember exactly where I was when watching the news reports at the time... it was such bizarre confusion, and after Lockerbie everybody assumed it was a bomb. Not surprising that some still cling to that theory, but as others said, keeping mum a conspiracy would be darn near impossible. There are a lot of Edward Snowdens in the world for both better and worse.
