I couldn't ever subscribe to the "ignornace is bliss" theory. I enjoy watching these types of films, not necessarily because they are only informative, usually I have a pretty good idea of what's going on in the world regardless, but because I'm a news junkie, a documentary junkie, and a politics junkie I usually end up enjoying them. I like to feel disgusted and angry because for me it's a motivating factor I suppose, and I like to have something to bitch about.  :-D

Also, if you like this film I think you would like "The Take". It is by Naomi Klein, so it is a little more serious-like. It is about the factory occupations in Argentina - after factories were closed down for being unprofitable, the workers occupied them and they are now making more money than they did before (I believe the factory is actually MORE profitable, it is not just them being better paid).
