I think people need to remove their heads from their asses and realize it's a moot point at best whether it's a "documentary" or not. Assigning an absolute definition will still not change what it is.
No matter how factually accurate, every documentary has a slant. Every documentary is produced to facilitate this slant. For example: A documentary about WWII made in America will have a different slant than one made in Germany, or Japan- this does not mean they're not all technically accurate. They're just
slanted to accomodate the message.
Perhaps more people should rely on real information sources rather than MOVIES. Documentary or not, it's still a MOVIE.

This is irrelevent. Net profit is net profit. They are giving away 60% of what is left when all the bills are paid, which are numerous and very costly. You have to pay the bills before you give money away. Nobody with any savvy gives away money before they know what they will make in net profit.
