What We Think

"Undercurrent" is a restrained, fact-centered crime documentary. It may acknowledge social concerns about women’s safety, but overall avoids ideological detours common in far more activist-driven projects.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

This documentary focuses on the real-life investigation into Kim Wall's disappearance and murder, centering on journalistic integrity and the facts of the case. There’s little evidence of forced representation, identity politics, or narrative deviation for the sake of ideology. The storytelling is sober and fact-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The production doesn’t go out of its way to undermine religion, family, or traditional values. Its focus is on investigative journalism and the criminal case itself. There is some emphasis on the dangers faced by female journalists, but this is grounded in real-world context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a perspective sensitive to women in journalism, but this aligns with the nature of the story. Dissenting opinions or alternative worldviews are not the focus, but that's hardly unexpected for a true-crime documentary rooted in actual events.
