1. Yep. It's an eye opener. I wish it would come out on DVD.

The last I heard they had no intentions of doing so. Maybe that will change. Then again, the people who need to see it would never watch it. If they did, it would just be labeled left wing propaganda from across the pond where all them socialists are.

I loved it. I keep the link to the site handy to watch a bit every now and then.

A real breath of fresh air.

5. See this earlier thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=191x759

especially the later posts. The amount of music and film clips used in the documentary make a video/DVD release time consuming (the BBC would have to renegotiate all the rights for each clip).

There are transcripts available here (but it's worth watching if possible - very well made).
