I do like stories about people and here you see the participants as young people going through a tremendous experience and reflecting upon it 40 years later. I thought it was fascinating. The individual stories were well told and the whole adventure made me want to have been one of the ones who took part.

Just a couple of years later I moved to the US and worked for 5 years in a National Park (Yosemite), a time which was very precious to me in my life and where I made good friends and had some great experiences.

This is a very different adventure in many ways but similar in some.

Please do ignore the one negative comment - this documentary is not political at all and you'd have to be super sensitive to call it "liberal".

Viewed objectively this is a very good documentary about an important part of recent history and the 1 star reviews are ridiculous and obviously politically motivated - as some other reviewer said, I am doubtful that many of them watched it at all.

There are so many false tales about Obama - that he "was the worst president ever", that he was "selected by the establishment" etc - and this documentary shows them for what they are. I guess some people do not want to have their prejudices disturbed.

Obviously the ones giving this film 1 star are being silly and/or have an axe to grind. It's a clever film, well worth watching and Pitt, Robbie and DiCaprio are outstanding.
