The accuracy of the Netflix series "trophy"

It was actually a CNN documentary, I saw it and thought that it was fair.
A bit of back story. CNN bought the broadcast rights after the film was finished. They had nothing to do with the film itself.
 
When I watched it I was hoping there would be a little more information about the benefits to conservation that hunting provides. It was fair and was not entirely one-sided, as some are, it's just that I wished that there was a bit more focus on that, because I feel that it may be the only way that someone on the fence (or even leaning towards anti) would be persuaded to condone (and maybe even support) trophy hunting.
I did find some of the "hunting scenes" to be sickening and distasteful, and worry that we, as hunters, could all be perceived by the general non-hunting population to all be the same, which we certainly are not!!!
 
I just watched it. It was a snap shot of our surroundings and ongoing current climate. It was very cool to see such emotions of Mr. Glass and Mr. Hume. I’m glad I found this thread and took the time to watch It.
