A great documentary, and since you are experienced I will take the liberty to make two comments:
- I think that a perspective correction will further enhance the pictures, in several pictures vertical lines fall, and if that happens close to the border of a picture it becomes disturbing.
- Colour consistency, or should I say WB. Almost all pictures have a yellow/orange component that is very strong. Most-likely due to the different light sources (lots of low temp sources (2800-3400 kelvin) combined with several other light sources. It seems that the camera was in auto WB. I difficult situation, I tend to go for flash with a gel of choice but matched with the most present ambient light. That makes it more uniform.
Never the less a great job , I know how difficult this can be.

I tried to correct with some of them but it introduced another set of problems like bad body and head proportions. Personally I don't find the effect disturbing to begin with.
For WB, I don't have a flash that works on board the x100s so that solution wasn't available. Second, I wanted ambient light to begin with. Thirdly there were several light sources so trying to match with gelled would have been impractical. Fourth, I wanted to test the x100s in jpg, auto WB for event photography and I can live with the yellow cast, but I confess my color blind eyes don't see with the pics.
