I have seen parts, it was shown on TVO (Canadian public TV). Although I found it informative and interesting, I also found it a little too socialist for my tastes. A little to anti-capitalist for me, shame because much of the movie had merit.

I agree. I also thought it was a bit too fear-mongering, however, it was empowering in a sense that it reminds people (consumers) that they have the power (through their vote of the dollar, and vote in politics) to control it.

I guess that goes without saying, but some people don't necessarily think in those terms.

To quote The Economist both sides of the globalisation debate need to see this film.
