It's probably testament to the truth of the film that it receives no support from the various film (and media) corporations.
It's a very interesting documentary and a very useful educational tool. I think that people are fairly easy-going, generally speaking, but one thing that is universally loathed is hypocrisy / cynical dishonesty. The film does a good job of exposing this pervasive nightmare and asks people to have a think about it. And I say fair enough. No-one's saying you cant watch X-Factor/ American Idol, if thats the sort if thing you enjoy; just don't let the media machine make a d1ck out of you. At the very least, try to be aware of the manner of the manipulation that accompanies the bright lights and bells.
The media control of government is something that shouldn't surprise people but it probably will. It's frightening.
I particularly enjoyed seeing arch lie-teller Max Clifford being dragged into the light (again)! I thought he would have learned his lesson after Louis Theroux caught him with his metaphorical trousers down some years ago but it seems hubris knows no bounds.
A noble effort.
