All right, so, a few things: massive possibly trigger warning. Talking about violence, murder, possibly rape, and just general uncomfortable situations. EDIT: to the smartasses who are reblogging my post, thinking they’re clever for pointing out that history is violent: I know. We all know. The trigger warning was for the possibility of triggering reenanctments in the documentaries themselves. Please take your observations somewhere else. EDIT: oh god, why are so many people reblogging this post? D: please stop…
