As I get older, I find myself watching more documentaries. The last two I watched were "The True Cost", which focused on the clothing and fashion industry and who really makes our clothes, and "That Sugar Film", which focused on how there is processed sugar in almost everything and how it effects our health.
Both docs had one underlying common theme - corporations and greed. Finding the cheapest place to make clothing in one, and pushing the addiction of sugar in the other. All for the gain of massive profits. These docs make me depressed and angry at the world today, because half a century ago things were much different. But things changed, and now we have the current state of things, which to me is not a good thing. I would think anyone who watches these docs would share the same opinion, but was surprised to find reviews scolding both docs for various reasons, from "this doc just boasts artificial arguments" to "this doc just pushes a liberal agenda".
Then that got me to thinking, what if the doc makers are just trying to push some agenda? All for the sake of making a profitable doc? Are they blowing things out of proportion? Are they just screaming "libs"? Or are they people who just want to make a good, positive difference in the world and educate the masses about things that we have become so used to in our current society?
tl;dr - Are documentaries and their makers trash? Or are they good, upstanding people who just want to educate?
