This was a well-executed documentary, where the subject was allowed to be "himself" giving us a window into his mind and how he came to that great, untold decision which saved earth from nuclear annihilation.
While watching the documentary; I couldn't help but put myself in his shoes. Petrov saved earth, lost his wife and the army "punished" him for his decision. To make matters worse, he died an angry man because, humanity did not learn anything from Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the 1983 incident.
I highly recommend this TRUE documentary of the greatest man we never knew.
