A so-so documentary. Too much rhetoric, too little content.

Curious about Zinn, but wary of trying to read any of his books I checked this out, ultimately disappointed at how over hyped he is. The doco is clearly only meant to preach to the converted as many of the assertions would be shot down by anyone with half an ounce of confirmation bias. Any capable documentary would be able to do better.
