I ordered the DVD a couple of weeks ago and yesterday I finally watched it. This is definitely a documentary of high quality!
What I thought was most valuable in this movie, was the information provided by the scientists and researchers in the fields of archaeological science, paleo and forensic anthropology and biomolecular archaeology. They prove once and for all that the paleo diet IS the most natural diet for humans. Not that we didn't know this around here, but it's nice to hear these experts explaining things in their own way.
One of the flaws I found in this film was the surprising fact that they didn't bring up the role of fat. There's a lot of talk about protein and the dangers of grain and sugar, but the importance of animal fat is almost completely omitted! And then there's this one expert recommending eating fruit! He does say that diabetics should be careful with eating too much fruit, but still one is left with the impression that eating fruit is healthy.
I think that this film falls into the category of 'fantastic - but they didn't get it quite right'. But maybe the idea was to mainly show the historical evidence, in which case this film does a fantastic job. I highly recommend watching this.

) but if this will get people to get off their usual slow suicide diets...it's a good start, osit.
