Well-meaning piece on protesting Bush/Cheney, their wars, their ways, their very selves. This was OK as far as it went but I mostly saw the prescription offered in this film for the current monstrousness in America's national policy and direction as naive and an expression of collective powerlessness in the face of a crushing, determined militarism.
Gathering together and singing Kumbaya isn't going to fix this mess. The bad guys are too entrenched. There is no justice. The people do not rule...their needs and desires aren't even considered.
Everybody knows that the system is rotten, and old black joe's still picking cotton for your buttons and bows...and everybody knows...(Leonard Cohen). Except these filmmakers.
