Charged: The Eduardo Garcia Story | Average Guy Documentary Review | Movierob's Genre Grandeur

For this month's Genre Grandeur on Documentary films, I am reviewing Charged: The Eduardo Garcia Story. Click here  to check out the other reviews over on Movierob's site.

When an event causes her to crash into a Blockbuster Video Store (the youngsters among us may not know what that is), Captain Marvel chooses to defend her planet of origin. But will that choice set her at
