Wake up World--and sleepy, bored reviewers

Those who think the FLOW Documentary is biased and/or boring can't handle the truth... or just don't want to.

The truth being, if we don't do something about what the powers-that-shouldn't-be are doing to this planet and its inhabitants, our eco system will soon be in much worse shape than that of the U.S. (and world) economic system. But then the energy law-writing, gambling-with-your-tax-money corporations had nothing to do with that, right?

Yes, the film is biased... against the destruction of our planet so that those very few, non tax-paying ultra-rich can become even more so.

When did it become one-sided to reveal truths such as rocket fuel seeping into American water systems and herbicides such as Atrazine, which are banned in the Euros but still being widely used in the U.S.? As well as uncovering the brutal conflicts that are caused by major corporations trying to privatize water in parts of Bolivia, South Africa, and other countries too-poor-to-pay over-the-top prices for clean water from those very same companies who are dumping pollutants into rivers and streams?

What exactly would be the non-biased “balanced” argument against these facts?

Aside from the “bias” the film is boring only if you find a depiction of the imminent destruction of the earth something to sleep through. But then, isn't dozing (slacking) off, rather than exercising oversight, exactly what got us into the mess that FLOW depicts in the first place?

But don’t worry, distracted reviewers; just sip your bottled water and toss that pesky plastic into the nearest lake. Those aquatic life forms have become so boring.
