Flight/Risk

This was really an excellent documentary. It moves quickly and clearly and to the point. If you are part of the public that has to fly on a regular basis I would recommend you watch this, if you are a concerned citizen and tired of BIG BUSINESS controlling our world and our government you should watch this and even if you don't care about either you should watch this. They hit on all the points without getting muddy and boring. Points out clearly that as a human being you mean NOTHING to large corporations or the greedy people that run them and the FAA that one would think cares but really doesn't. The whistle blowers of this world should be hailed as the true rock stars of our society they deserve adulation and all the respect. Too bad $ is always the winner in our universe.

Flight/Risk is directed from the perspective of a journalist-and as a journalistic effort I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.

The documentary examines the back-to-back deadly crashes of Boeing 737 MAX airplanes, first near Indonesia and five months later in Ethiopia.

Whistleblowers, a journalist and others seek to hold Boeing accountable for the loss of human life, and contend that the 300+ lives lost were due to economic concerns rather than pilot safety.

The documentary follows a journalist at the Seattle Times as he seeks to piece together the mismanagement and indecision at Boeing that may have impacted the ultimate decision by the FAA to ground all MAX planes. A lawyer representing the plaintiffs and victims is also followed as he seeks justice.

The documentary is very good and shot in 4K UHD, and reveals the complacency and-yes-culpability of the Federal government and its regulators in the hierarchy of accountability.

The movie poses some serious questions about the impact that Wall Street and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has on management decisions at American megacorporations.

Not all heroes wear capes, and seeing people putting their lives and career on the line, with so much grace is incredibly powerful. The whistleblower deserves honors.

And for once we are taken into this scandal through the experience of the families victims. It could happen to any of us, we could all be victims of big corporations greed.

It's just so sad that they kept on going, it's an insult to the hundreds of families who lost loved ones. Well done Amazon for bringing this story to light.

Also, congratulations to the directors and producers for capturing the emotions of the families and the bravery of the whistleblower.

Boeing is one of those "too big to fail" or "too big to be held accountable" companies impart thanks to the total ineptitude of the FAA.

Not a single person fired or punished? Both of them operate much like the law enforcement in America.... they regulate and investigate themselves - with no serious oversight to hold them accountable.

Extremely informative and distressing documentary. By the end I was left with the complete certainty that this will happen again and again.

A highlight of the documentary is watching the lawyers for the families relentlessly championing for them. The Seattle reporter who didn't stop till the truth is uncovered. And the young woman in the UK who lost her father. She handles her grief with such strength and grace.

My disappointment with Boeing and FAA is slightly less maddening knowing there are people out there that are still honest, ethical and are doing what's RIGHT instead of what they want.

The documentary is based on two airplane accidents between 2018-2019 were almost 300 hundred people died.

The point here is the why. Were those planes ready to flight?

The documentary shows the raw reality of the family of the victims and the long justice battle of them and helped by an important ex Boeing worker, trying to make justice.

But there is a problem, the huge and powerful company tries to avoid any responsibility.

The documentary is pretty well done and it shows perfectly the point. Could have been better but could have been worse. I like it. I buy most of the story and now I understand the power of big corporations like Boeing, and their priorities. Money first. Security next.
