Oh absolutely, but some things are naturally dramatic, you just have to tell the story and bang, there's your drama. I won't say that the movie is free from dramatization, but it's an excellent recounting of a story that really did happen.

Adbusters is not crap by any means. Extremely biased, yes. So is USA Today. So are all politicians. Are they crap? No, they just have an opinion. Articles in Adbusters remind me of what journalism is intended to be: dirty, muckraking, and uninfluenced by the subject. Their articles also have a ringing sound of transparency to them. They may be biased, but they present a lot of things in objective form. Example: the magazine is leftist, however they publish entire speeches by conservatives verbatim. For what purpose? To show you the disgusting truth.
