    Nailed it. People are sad and unhappy. Life is bad and will get worse.

    The stories in The Great American Lie were so powerful and moving. This is such an important message they are sharing and so thoughtfully and intelligently executed. I hope that the film reaches a very wide audience.

    Wake up

    This is something that most Americans should watch. Great show that tells the story of too many people and families in the USA People who have critiqued this movie so poorly should take a drive outside of their white, gated community a little more often. Is a great wake up call!

    Garbage for a Liberal

    Another master piece of liberal Garbage if you hate America you will like this Doc. I bet they had help from the NEA to put this together.

    lower that a 1

    The worst waste of time on screen today. If you are a professional victim like these idiots, I feel sorry for you and your parents have failed on every level. This pushes the idea that rich people work to keep poor people down and there is no way out of it. Sad and unrealistic

    Socialism's Definition Is Anti-capitalism

    So the story is told from Anne Anti-capitalist perspective means everything said about capitalism is a Big Lie.
