Yamen Diab This film is not yet rated

This film was very interesting, it brought up many things about the MPAA and government censorship that I had never heard of before. Although I feel as if this movie was somewhat slanted in a way, catering to the viewpoints of some people about censorship in the media. Also I found the part about the investigation into the actual names of the people hired by the MPAA biased. The documentary consistently brings about points of why the board members names should be revealed, but not once says anything about why they shouldn't. I believe that people working those jobs can be influenced both ways, from film makers, and from studios. Therefore I don't believe that the names of the members should have been made readily available to the public. This adds an extra factor to the influences behind movies being rated, and could possibly even in the future allow some movies to receive a rating that may not be appropriate. Although I found parts of this documentary to be true, I am not completely convinced on the whole point of it.
