Another way to do that is to tell each story by itself and don't intersperse them with each other. Tell faction A's story from start to finish. Tell B's from start to finish etc etc If you do that, you can avoid a lot of the landmines of impartiality by telling each groups story from their perspective without interrupting it. You also get those fun "Ah ha" moments when the audience can connect the interweaving of the other stories into the current one they are watching.
