Title: Great interviews, but poor fact checking
Review: This documentary has some excellent interviews with the actual Navajo code talkers. However, the narration that accompanies the interviews is full of basic factual errors (e.g., the ancestors of the Navajo were not the Anasazi; Philip Johnston did not, by his own account, get the idea of using code talkers from the World War I Choctaw or Comanche; the U.S. military did not create increasingly complex codes in response to an elite group of English-speaking Japanese code breakers; the code was not kept top secret for 20 years (it was featured in a movie in the 1950s), etc.). Enjoy listening to the stories told by the Navajo, but take everything else with a huge grain of salt.
