they're also making a documentary with that title. I have no idea when it comes out, but when it does it's being added to my Netflix list.

Some one, I am pretty sure baselle, wrote about it in her blog. She went and saw the documentary, so it is already out. She reccommends it to everyone.

This could be interesting, however I have found most "documentaries" to be rather biased toward a certain point of view. Most of them scan the American landscape to seek out people and situations that help to make their argument and support their point of view. They usually end up playing the victim card and say nothing about personal responsibility. In our case, this film probably makes no or very little reference to people like us that use credit responsibly or that save up an EF for unforseen situations. But, I would like to watch it and see what it's all about.
