Yes this is educational, but parents should know, that although non-sexual and within purpose, some of it could be gratueous. We see some beautiful women's breasts uncensored. This is not for kids to see, at least not alone. This is an adult-oriented documentary. Much like UPN, A&E was cutting edge in being very permissive of uncensored content.

Some drinking, as Paris socialites did in the 19th century, especially in the restaurant and plaza parts.

The whole documentary is fairly intense. Themes of isolation, social stigma, and the effects of isolation are a part of this documentary. It's not for kids to see alone.
