Footprints in Stone III - The Reckoning

Back in 2013 a couple random dudes decided to make a pseudo-sequel to Footprints in Stone called Forbidden History: Footprints in Stone II, which is essentially just an extended interview with Carl Baugh and his protegee Aaron Judkins. I was really tempted to call this video Footprints in Stone III, but restrained myself and consigned that in-joke to the clickbait title.

It's so hard to watch a quiet documentary. Gotta add some guitar riffs and jump cuts, amirite?
