Unnerving and damning movie made by the AFL/CIO criticizing every aspect of big business, most especially General Electric. This movie, with it's harsh criticisms about everything and anyone not down with the Union (they seem to pinpoint it on all the politicians after their man, Roosevelt died) certainly is a site to see, full of amazing statistics and great graphics (Look! It's the evil octopus from Perversion For Profit!) it seeks to finally resolve this issue once and for all at one place... the election booth. Reccomended!
