I think you miss the point Richard (see previous review). "From Hell" starring Johnny Depp was a work of fiction based on a graphic novel of the same name. The basis of the plot is the much debated freemason/royal family cover up, and is still a highly regarded solution to the case, despite what other historians and ripperologists say. It was inspired by Stephen Knight's book, Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, as was the earlier movie "Murder By Decree" (1978). Stephen Knight's theories are compelling and well researched and presented in his book as the facts of the case, as he sees them. In the video he talks about his studies and it's simply a documentary about Knight and his conclusions. Whether you disagree with Knight is another matter entirely but you cannot compare this documentary with the many fictional accounts about Jack the Ripper. I wonder if you actually watched this video before you left a review?

Hell', the Johnny Depp vehicle is better.
It really doens't bring up the Masonic
connection and doesn't really answer
the 'Who Done It?' aspect of the case
very completely. Six others out there
on same subject but this, unfortunately
is the best besides 'From Hell'. Sad...
