I guess if you woke up one day and suddenly realized that there was misery in the world, you might find this movie an epiphany. It is a polemic of the worst order. The implication is that we are all guilty of gross aggrandizement since the times of the land grabs of the 14th century. Well, most of our ancestors escaped that land grab and came to America... unless the diatribe is referring to the land grab from the indigenous peoples of this country. If it is, why didn't they make it here and why were there no "Indians" in it? I'm a rabid left wing radical, most of the time, but I know when I see tripe pawned off as truth. Anyone who rates this movie highly is merely trying to make themselves feel better after they sent their $25.00 check off to "Save the Children." That's guilt money, not an answer. If people want to do something constructive, Impeach Bush and his cadre of war mongers who have brought more misery to the world than any previous regime, reverse the policies of the World Bank and IMF... and if you're really feeling guilty...tithe... send 10% of your income to world charities that feed people who are starving.
