America submitted by avrogers1 on August 21, 2017, 11:30pm This was a really interesting and informative movie. I didn't really like or dislike it though. It was just kind of alright.

A bit over the top submitted by TeacherN on July 3, 2021, 3:56pm Lot's of good information, but it plays heavily into the American mythology of exceptionalism, rugged individualism, and manifest destiny. Worth watching, but keep your critical thinking cap on.
