I saw this in Boston in 1988, during the election. Of course, I'm not surprised that it's hard to locate. If you're a fan of George Bush Sr., it might feel like it felt when you found out that there was no Santa Claus or Easter bunny.
It was pretty informative, and filled in a lot of blanks I had in my mind after spending 1987 watching the coverage of the Iran-Contra hearings on TV.
They do a pretty good job of presenting facts without falling into the melodrama of conspiracy that is all too common in political reporting these days. It's been a while since I saw it, but I do remember a slight slant on the perspective. However, it can be overlooked when one considers the content that is presented.
As we get further and further into the current situation in Iraq, (where the US could be confronting it's own weapons that were sold in the eighties), the information published in this film carries a new weight and urgency for our society to address.
