Documentaries...

During the past week we have been watching the documentary "Roger and Me" by Micheal Moore. This is about the closure of the GM plant in Flint. It put 30000 people out of jobs, and the owner Roger Smith moved the plant to Mexico because of cheap labor. Micheal is outraged and goes to find Roger and talk him into coming to the ever rotting Flint to see his handy work. He travels all over trying to find Roger and cant seem to talk to him when he finally gets to he says no. That's it. This documentary is a work of editing.. not so much the truth. Although everything in the documentary happened. It happened at different times. The film was not in chronological order. I believe that a true documentary displays the whole truth, all the facts. In the right order. I did like this film was entertaining and all but I do not believe it fit documentary order.
