Even though this was produced by PBS in part with our tax dollars, they only ever made it available on VHS and only for a limited time. I doubt they would make it available again because much of the content is not now considered "politically correct." There is only an info page about it at the PBS website now, with carefully filtered content. It is not available for streaming regardless of our taxpayer dollars having at least partially funded it. There are VHS copies as of this date available on Amazon and eBay. I found this video very compelling and it is interesting to compare it with the more recent and "politically correct" works on Einstein.
I expected at least a little enjoyment out of this piece. What a terrible waste of talent and time. I sat through the whole film. I strongly recommend that you do not. With all the effort made in acting, costumes and settings, this work simply has no soul. I wish I had not spent the time. The end, with it's swift shallowness, makes the loss of the time spent even more regrettable. There is not a moment of uplift, either. It's almost as if someone needed to crank this piece out simply to use up the funds. And with so little effort it could have been so much better. All the actors certainly did what they could. The scenery, film work,props and costumes cannot be faulted. It simply fails as a whole. So sorry.
Michael Moore is a hero for collectivism and for all those who want "free health care." But the truth is that there is no such thing. All around the world people are suffering and even dying waiting in line for "free health care," while even more people are being slowly bled to death under the burden of paying for it. Now, in some parts of the world, people are even being told that the government will soon refuse to give you the "free health care" you pay for with your taxes if you don't comply with the government's proscribed lifestyle. Now, perhaps more people will get the message that nothing works under collectivism, and that with the making of this film, Michael Moore has become a drummer for Big Brother.
