Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

As others have said, not your "standard movie" sort of thing. It's "The Killing Fields" without any attempt to sell it to Hollywood . . . The producers obviously did a lot of research into this one before the filming.I understand they do have some other films they've made, but I can't locate them on IMDb yet. I'll be watching for those to be added.Great film, though I do recommend you watch it first yourself before seeing if it's appropriate yet for your (younger) children."All of the Bill of Rights, for all Citizens!" indeed. I look forward to seeing more of their work, which seems to be heading towards being freely distributed ?

Unless you are into politics and history, you won't really 'want' to see this movie like it is any other film.. treat it like what it is - a documentary. It is a very important documentary, because people must learn about what happened in the past, so they can prevent recurrences of past tragedies in the future. It is important that people see this movie so that they are more educated, and aware of the significance of the gun debate. Gun rights and the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting or sportsmen, although those are both perfectly legitimate activities. The real purpose behind the 2nd amendment gets discussed in this movie, and the film will reveal to any intelligent person who enjoys history and understands why it is important why gun control must be rejected.

This is very gruesome and not entertaining at all. All you really see are a bunch of gruesome pictures and short films, (except for the interview at the end) and the only sound you hear is the chattering of the narrator and some dramatic music. But the thing is that it is short, and to the point. (not sweet) Entertainment should play a very limited role in documentaries, and information should contain a maximum role. (That's something that Michael Moore fans need to learn.) Basically, it talks about all the genocide that happened in the twentieth century, and how they could've been prevented if the citizenry were armed. Just to give you a hint on how much genocide there was,170,000,000 people died because of genocide. The Nazi Holocaust only accounted for 13,000,000. EVERYONE should see this movie before they get taken in by anti-gun lies and mislogic. It is indeed true that none of the genocide could've taken place if the citizenry were armed. (EVERY genocide had disarmament as its precursor.) I won't say too much more, or I'll go over the 1,000 word maximum.7/10 One more thing, they could've done a LOT better with the September 11th part. (Watch the movie and you'll agree.)

This is a very disturbing movie. Not because of the images -- by now most educated persons probably know that 20th Century governments butchered 200 million or more people -- but because of the blunt and matter-of-fact way it illustrates some of the precursors to genocide. Intellectually I understood the historical connection between authoritarian states, civilian disarmament, and genocide but now I understand it viscerally as well. From the first time I saw that roving gun sight until the final credits this documentary alternately horrified and enraged me. However, not everyone will finish this film feeling thoughtful. It does challenge some fundamental assumptions people make about genocide but I think that is a good thing. Pretty darned good for a movie with only a $90,000 budget.
