"The Long Island Project"

"The Long Island Project" is a feature length film about a group of industrialists and financier's who begin a movement to secede the region of Long Island from New York to form The State of Long Island. It can be viewed in its entirely through Google video, free of charge. I am curious to hear people's thoughts on the movie so if anyone else can check it out, that would great. It's in seven segments on Google Video, so you'll have to search the title in numerical order.

The movie was a failure all around, however, its concept tops most Hollywood material by far. The subject of secession has not been tackled (that I know of) and it would be quite interesting to actually see something like this happen on a large scale.
