I thought this was a great documentary, but I'm bothered by the fact that when the film talks about US Senate meetings, the image on the screen is of the easily-recognizable UN Security Council room.
If these filmmakers are that sloppy about that, it makes you wonder what else they just slapped together. An issue this important shouldn't be undermined by bad messengers.
Where are your priorities?
Seriously, it's like a guy runs in screaming that the building you're in is on fire, and you complain that his belt doesn't match his shoes.
The trivia section states the writer/director made this movie with a camera he won with an earlier entry in a film festival. It was obviously a passion project made on a shoe-string with lots of stock footage...
Although I will admit, from the high quality + production level, it's not readily apparent.
Let's stay focused on the big issue of the commercialization of water, + not get distracted by shiny objects in the background. Short attention spans like that have kept the sheeple of the world asleep for too long...
to quote John Stewart, *boom*
shareI disagree, documentary film makers have a responsibility to not fudge on the facts since by it's very nature the film is designed to inform. This is not just cutting corners to get the film made on the cheap. C-SPAN and other video sources are widely available and can be incorporated under acceptable use copyright laws.
Your comparison would have been more accurate if you stated (a guy runs in screaming that the building your in is on fire, and you complain that in reality it the building down the street".
I found many factual errors in this film, far too many to list here and I am a bit disturbed that it is being used in schools as educational propaganda. Ya! Go Hollywood, indoctrinate another generation into your BS.
