Borderline Factual

Warning: Spoilers
I was expecting everythin - except this. Full of fallacies, pandering to emotions, and red herrings. The imagery of untranslated Hitler speeches to underline the fact of "bad german company" and the general lashes against Europe are plagued by hypocrisy; how can you talk about people building "machines that kill people" when your own nation is housing Lockheed, Smith & Wesson, Monsanto, and other companies that far exceed the damages done by VW and other car manufacturers?

The gas chamber was the pinnacle of the documentary. The direct reference to the holocaust in connection to VW's testing made me stop the documentary. Hiroshima? Nagasaki? Vietnam? Agent Orange? This is not about pointing fingers but don't you dare try and take the moral high ground on something when your own companies are genuinely far worse than anything VW has ever done. And the switch in music to underline the gruesomeness of the experiments - pathetic. Who knows what else is going on behind closed doors in the US...

As somebody already said: this scandal is a hoax. VW is the company who got caught doing something that is against regulations. I believe that this was done on purpose to strengthen the car manufacturers of the United States. If you want to save the environment then don't drive a car; 200mg more or less are not going to make a difference if you're already polluting anyways. And if the US actually cared about the environment & people, maybe they'd start looking at their own industries than trying to denounce European ones in the name of profit.
