At the time of this writing there is no "Overview" of this DVD biography on the Best Buy website product listing so for those who potentially may have interest in this particular documentary there are a few things you should know that I only found out after purchase and viewing. The first point is that the video footage appears to be entirely a 50-minute series of stock footage clips with periodic stationary images each from third party sources. Though Elon Musk photos are a handful of the stationary images the stock footages and other images do not immediately appear to be in direct correlation with the audio documentary content. The second point you should know is that the audio seems to be narrated by computer narration (computer voice-to-text).
With the above details out of the way I did watch the documentary in its entirety, though you could have listened to it like an audiobook and got the same amount of information. By the conclusion of the documentary did learn a few things I hadn't known before about Elon Musk. That being said if I had known this product was entirely stock footage mixed with what seems to be computer narration, I would not have purchased this product. I labeled the product as "Fair" because though I technically purchased and received a DVD documentary of Elon Musk it was not of the production quality of similar unofficial biography's I have previously purchased.
