I have seen the film and enjoyed it. I felt that the filmmakers did their best to show both sides of the industry. The people interviewed for the film appeared knowledgeable, however who knows. I know very little about this business, being a female and not being in the business myself. The fact is there is very little real information regarding this industry, one of the reasons there is bound to be so much conjecture and guesswork. It's something that fascinates me and I have therefore been attempting to learn as much as possible about it for the past few years through various sources and in fact have written a minor article on it (NOTE: I usually write outdoor articles, I am NOT a journalist).
If you only saw the trailer for it, it's possible you only saw the most sensational parts - I think it would be great if someone with far more knowledge than myself watched the entire film, commentaries, etc. and then published their opinion on it. I would be very interested.
If the filmmakers did in fact use someone's interview after they asked for it not to be shown, then I find that very unfortunate and lacking in integrity on the filmmakers part. Obviously, it wasn't too clever of the inteviewee to grant the interview in the first place though was it?
So, I would love to hear some opinions from those who have some knowledge and have seen the entire film.
