"Absolutely powerful. I have always questioned the “consumerism” of society. This is a behind the scenes look at another country catering to western and European ideals of business. This is a footage based documentary, but keep watching, the footage speaks for itself. "

"I enjoyed the use of natural sound in this one. There wasn't a single interview. The film didn't need it. "
