Add a CommentI thought this film would be fluff. BUT it was an amazing and scary eye-opener about deep-pocket manipulations to destroy our legal protections !! ...Please see it.
Worth watching if only for the truths behind the famous MCDonalds hot coffee case.
This watchable documentary is heavily skewed towards the view of the lawyers who make money out of bringing suits against companies on behalf of consumers. Caveat emptor applies here, as everywhere else.
We know that public opinion can easily be swayed if enough money is spent on a campaign. I didn't realize how many of these campaigns are constantly being waged in the form of sensational stories that the public cannot get enough of. The next time a civil trial involving large $$ compensation is in the news, I will look a lot closer at who has the most to lose!
A revealing documentary on how corporations infiltrate and manipulate government and the justice system in order to avoid public accountability. Money buys a lot of influence and ensures interests are protected and outcomes are predictable.
An interesting and eye-opening look at American politics and the short comings of the social justice system. It will change your mind about several issues and one case in particular that was heavily distorted in the media over time.
