First, if you are well read and have been paying attention, I can tell you that there is little new information in the film (there is some, like the change in the FOI for Bush's service record). Secondly, it is the RANGE of people that are showing up, and what they are concerned about with this nation that is of the most interest. I had a similar reaction to the populace's enthusiasm and activism manifested by seeing this film as I had when Ross Perot first ran for office the first time. I think that Perot was scared off by hard-ball Texas politics, probably due to threats to his family. America is up for sale to fascist influence and we'd better wake up and find our neighbors, be they Xian or New Ager, really have more in common with each other than they do with Bush's cronies and a made-up war.

A documemtary does not have to be unbiased- if they had to be, they would never be made. Everyone who sets out to make an artistic statement has a POV. adj : relating to or consisting of or derived from documents [syn: documental] n : a film or TV program presenting the facts about a person or event [syn: docudrama, documentary film, infotainment] One doesn't have to present all the facts, and documentary film makers never do (and actually, neither do TV reporters or news reporters.).
