First, the message is very important, and its why I gave it 3 stars, but its poorly edited and produced which is why I can't give it 5.Just to give an example of the annoying features, an economist will say something like, the deficit is a huge problem that no one in congress wants to deal with, like an "an elephant in the living room", and then a still picture of an elephant will transition in, in case the viewer forgets what an elephant looks like. Another example is a computer graphic of a bomb exploding.. this is played after every segment, dozens of times, making me sick.The video is littered with all these kinds of amateurish graphics and pictures that add nothing, and possible detract from what's being said... its as if the film maker picked up a copy of Premiere a week ago and went nuts with silly editing and transitions.Its a shame because I really wanted a dvd that I could lend to friends about this topic. There is at least one other dvd out there that presents this subject matter, in a **MUCH** better way:"60 Minutes - Wake Up Call (March 4, 2007)"originally aired on 60 Minutes, but now sold here on Amazon. Its a bit pricey for this 12 minute segment, although you can probably find this "Dirty Little Secret" clip on youtube or the like.
