I didn't know it was on youtube. I'll try to check it out. Nice to be able to double speed it.

I'm not very optimistic, since I've seen some of the experts they cited.
I'd really love a stronger documentary on health though.

I felt like it was lacking, honestly. They flirted with false equivalence, used sensationalism, and did the typical "call company rep and get denied <even though everyone knows reps can't talk to media>" tactic. There was some good, basic information, enough to convince my partner to try giving up meat, so it wasn't a total flop. I'm not familiar with the experts interviewed yet, so I can't comment on that.
