I would normally be the perfect audience for this, but I'm sad to report that this film is heavy-handed and one-note. It's unfortunate that, in order to compete with the relentless, ubiquitous propagandistic noise of the right wing, liberal and left documentaries start taking on the same characteristics. Much the same happened to Oliver Stone circa JFK. The film covers very little ground others--including Michael Moore--have covered far better, and the scare tropes of bad propaganda are hammered at you, quite patronizingly & laughably, throughout, the film's sole thesis being corporations are psychopaths. TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW! Sheesh. I give it a few points for occasional great clips from 50s educational films, because I'm a sucker for that.
