Risco de Voo

Never seen the other side of Boeing until these 2 crashes and this documentary takes you on a ride with the people who showed the other side of Boeing and the FAA with so much depth. These people really bought justice if not full justice to the victim's families. The main culprit's are the CEO FAA and the Senior managers who managed to escape. I hope Boeing and FAA has learned from their mistakes and prevent this incident in the future. Being an Avgeek I never thought Boeing will go for such an extent for Profits at the cost of 346 innocent lives. This documentary really shows the pain of the victim's families. The Best Documentary I've ever seen hand's down.

The story of the 737max is a definitely a cautionary tale for all manufacturer's to learn. Boeing got itself lost in a battle with Airbus and made tragic mistakes. Had this documentary focused solely on those mistakes and people who lost loved ones as result, it would have been a powerful and honest film. Unfortunately the director and producer couldn't help himself and let his leftist anti capitalism seep through. This isn't a failure of capitalism, but a failure of upper management to listen to their people and the failure of the FAA to provide oversight. This film is definitely worth watching, just a shame for what it could have been.....

The documentary is based on two airplane accidents between 2018-2019 were almost 300 hundred people died.

The point here is the why. Were those planes ready to flight?

The documentary shows the raw reality of the family of the victims and the long justice battle of them and helped by an important ex Boeing worker, trying to make justice.

But there is a problem, the huge and powerful company tries to avoid any responsibility.

The documentary is pretty well done and it shows perfectly the point. Could have been better but could have been worse. I like it. I buy most of the story and now I understand the power of big corporations like Boeing, and their priorities. Money first. Security next.

It's a pretty sad story of the military industrial complex, which really doesn't care about human life at all, just profits.

Bottom line here is 346 people died in 2 crashes and the Boeing CEO who made 30 million a year had to resign. His replacement started with a salary of 1.4 million a year with lots of incentives to aim for. His most immediate incentive? Restore the failure of Boeing Max to flight status worldwide. Which took him around a year, and he got a bonus of 7 MILLION DOLLARS.

You see how this crap works? It's disgusting. And really is the plane design safe now? The jury is still out.

7/10.

Flight/Risk is directed from the perspective of a journalist-and as a journalistic effort I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.

The documentary examines the back-to-back deadly crashes of Boeing 737 MAX airplanes, first near Indonesia and five months later in Ethiopia.

Whistleblowers, a journalist and others seek to hold Boeing accountable for the loss of human life, and contend that the 300+ lives lost were due to economic concerns rather than pilot safety.

The documentary follows a journalist at the Seattle Times as he seeks to piece together the mismanagement and indecision at Boeing that may have impacted the ultimate decision by the FAA to ground all MAX planes. A lawyer representing the plaintiffs and victims is also followed as he seeks justice.

The documentary is very good and shot in 4K UHD, and reveals the complacency and-yes-culpability of the Federal government and its regulators in the hierarchy of accountability.

The movie poses some serious questions about the impact that Wall Street and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has on management decisions at American megacorporations.
