Ratings and reviews

This is a great documentary and I watch a lot of documentaries, so I should know. The concepts of the film, whilst complex, are brought together into a succinct and powerful message. A lot of famous faces with interesting takes on the impact fame and performance have on their audiences. The doco's message is profound but light-hearted and comical at times too. If I could give this film more than 5 stars I would. Buy this doco, you won't be disappointed.

This is one heck of a journey. An exploration of the power of audience manipulation, as seen through the eyes of rock stars. Very topical in today's political climate! Make sure you see this.

A unique perspective on a topic with so much to explore. The connections made in the film are eerie in a time when politics and entertainment are so closely entwined. The journey aspect of the film added to the enjoyment.
