Runs around 6 minutes, more of a PowerPoint presentation set to music than a movie.
Worth watching, some of the statistics will probably surprise you.
I searched & didn't see this posted.
And though not specifically political, it carries enough information about other countries that some will undoubtedly engage in debate that is political in nature.
What a time we live in!

Very interesting.
But the argument that America is falling behind in anything is usually met by a knee-jerk accusation that this is all just a bunch of "America-hating", and "Love it or leave it (but don't try to change it)"
As long as the politicians keep the sheep fat & complacent, there will be no change. As one American recently stated, "I am completely satisfied as long as I have my Diet Pepsi and fast food fix."

Well not entirely, he did question the wisdom of consuming a week old dollar Macburger. He ate it anyway but he did stop to question. Is that cause for hope?

Only if he had put it down for a fresh burger.
