OK, so I would expect the gravitational pull of our sun on the planets in our solar system to decrease exponentially as they got farther from the sun. That does not surprise me.
What does surprise me, if I'm not too drunk to understand this documentary, is the idea that the non-angular velocity of stars farther from the center of a galaxy in the SAME as that of stars closer to the center of the galaxy. That makes no sense to me, but only because I viewed it kind of like spokes on a wheel. It is clear that such a simplistic paradigm (or metaphor, however you want to view it) is not sufficient to understand this shit. Something weird is definitely going on, according to these fancy dancy physics peoples.
