Audience Member Watch this. Has a good point. We are all citizens of earth. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member You have two ears and one mouth you should listen more than you speak Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of what was said in this movie irritated me to no end. Most of the people interviewed are barflies and people living on the streets or working behind some sandwich shop, who are completely ignorant about world affairs and parrot back whatever the state media or ruling party in their own country has manipulated them into believing. Granted, I think most of the footage was taken before General Petraeus and President Obama changed the scenery in a major way, but even so, the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan at that point was completely misunderstood and misconstrued. There is a huge difference between empire-building and regime change, and everyone assumed that we had undertaken the former. The latter is a humanitarian crusade and a thankless burden. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A really great documentary. I must say I shed a tear at the end. Please open your heart and mind to other cultures and countries. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Ohh America. Suuuper interesting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent documentary about looking at views toward the U.S. by the world in an honest, no holds-barred manner. Some cinematography issues, but great film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
