I prefer a pure documentary style. Dramatizations usually consist of subpar acting and dialogue and unfortunately this one is another victim of that. It kills the pace of the documentary. Factoids that can be delivered in 20 seconds are portrayed in uninteresting 3-minute exposition with lousy dialogue.
If you really must have video accompaniment, I prefer short 10-second clips with no dialogue, just enough to show the setting and the costumes of the era.
