Good but shameless

(Seen on PBS 9/2020) This doc does a very good job covering Raul's life and career. However, never a wart is to be seen - he's shown only as a saint of the theater and film. I've known a lot of actors and also guys from backgrounds like his, and there is definitely much more that could have been documented here. The most egregious section is about his involvement in EST and the EST Hunger Project. His actual involvement is not detailed in any way. Even Werner Erhardt (not his real name), the leader of all that, appears in the present day. EST was a very cleverly packaged semi-cult ego project scam run by a super salesman who got rich off of it before it collapsed. The Hunger Project ended up doing not much at all. None of that is even obliquely mentioned. Nothing but the most complimentary stuff is allowed in this film, so it is not really a credible documentary.
