Skips over the entire McDD merger that really changed the culture from engineering to finance and blamed Jim McNerney almost entirely for everything that ever went wrong at the company.

If ever there is a case to be made about what's wrong with capitalism at its worst, it's on display in this film and Boeing is it. This film made me sad, angry and determined. I highly recommend it.
