    Raises interesting questions

    I watched this after seeing a feature film "adaption" of that topic with Michael Keaton, Amy Ryan and Stanley Tucci which was pretty solid, also a reccomend.

    You should watch this because it raises interesting questions. What is a life worth? How do you calculate that? Is one more worth than another (obviously not). It puts the people in a dileamma. Do I take the save but little money or do I sue and most likely get nothing. These dilemmas make one hour fourty fly by like nothing.

    And interesteing documentation from a talented German director. Very odd because here in Germany this documentary isn't featured anywhere.
