This is ethnographically priceless footage, regardless of whether the story it tells is "true". Consider it of its time, regarding the narrative approach; viewing it through modern eyes and attitudes is not kind to the intent. This Criterion Collection version is likely the cleanest print you're going to see of the film, and the quality of the on-location cinematography is outstanding. Yes, it's a bit of a curiosity, but it is worth seeing for itself.
