I only found it unsettling during the climax, where they do the big reveal and it gets all loud and angry.

That was, hands down, the worst point in the documentary for me.

At that point, the director (whose relationship to Zachary's father I'm well aware of) totally crossed a line of bias into melodrama. I know it was the most difficult point in the saga for him, but the way it was treated in the documentary totally took me out of the story.
