Right, but I think what most people are pissed off about is the creator's hypocrisy. She says it's not about glorifying the sexualization of children...yet has multiple multi-minute takes of doing just that, when the point could have gotten across without doing so.

I think she edited the documentary poorly, also I don't think it's a very good documentary.

It did get everyone talking about the problems of media sexualizing(is that word?) kids.

So maybe it's a great documentary! Not sure.

But do we need a 'documentary' to tell us this is wrong? I would guess that most individuals would agree it's immoral regardless of where you are on the political spectrum albeit for possibly different reasons.

This is like making a movie about why dog fighting is bad and having a movie poster depicting dog fighting in a glamorous light but then having to watch the movie to show that's it's a problem. This is even worse though because children are more easily influenced by what is culturally acceptable. I know the whole 'save the children' is overused now but this is actually a situation where children really should be protected, and I as parent shouldn't have them assaulted by this.

You keep calling this a documentary- it’s not. This is a fictional movie where the creator chose to script, direct, film, and produce scenes of hyper-sexualized little girls.

Why do you keep saying the word "documentary?"
