i read the last comment.. it was written by someone who didn't understand the meaning that this documentary wanted to represent... its about people not the materialism they created... its about feelings of being a human... what went wrong and what it really means.. its not about the shiny guns and wheels.. its a meaningful documentary everyone should watch it...

how men where misguided because of the environment they lived.... how violence grew in that place.. the soundtrack was best of it... watch this documentary and change your life and you will know that you are in better place than them...
