For Hammarskjold, the various documents that have been released or otherwise leaked suggest he could have been killed by the US, France, the USSR, or mercenaries hired by African mining interests. Or some combination of the above. As far as I can tell there is no definitive proof of who exactly was behind it, only that a lot of powerful people wanted him gone.

Does the filmmaker have access to some sort of exclusive information that the rest of the world doesn't? Or, like most of these sorts of filmmakers, is he drawing conclusions beyond what can be conclusively reached with the availabile evidence?

Watch the documentary. Union miniere, Belgian government, SAIMR paramilitaries, CIA and MI6 all were deeply involved.

"Though the filmmakers present Mr. Jones as a self-assured whistle-blower, their notes from several interviews they conducted with him before the final taping reflect that he repeatedly denied that his group was involved in an AIDS project."

"As the interviews progressed, the filmmakers posed additional questions that introduced details of possible militia activities. Mr. Jones’s responses evolved and, by the time he sat for the final interview, he professed firsthand knowledge of people and events that he had previously seemed to first learn about from the filmmakers."

Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and say a documentary that claims western powers were intentionally spreading AIDS in South Africa (under the guise of a vaccination program) and does so on the basis of some extremely questionable witnesses might be stretching the evidence about some other things.

It does not. Its a supposed South African plot to poor infect South Africans and neighboring countries.
