Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
