As a foundation for a more informed discussion, this is a wonderful film

…at times, mesmerizing, touching, funny, informative and even astonishingly moving.

…goes far beyond the bias that’s typical of a documentarian to almost acting as a mouthpiece for the subject.

The story is told from both sides but with a heavy bias on the positives.

…makes a strong case for how the system is broken and people suffer as a result.

For all of my complaints about The Gatekeepers, I still found it to be an important and unique documentary.

It’s like watching an unedited reality show rather than a polished, professional film.

The titular liars and deniers get screen time in clips that make their comments and stances look particularly foolish.

It’s little more than a series of anecdotal sad stories about people around the country who struggle to feed themselves.

The absolute bluntness that the directors bring to their subject is astounding.

I feel like I know these people well and both root for them as well as empathize with them.

The first 90 minutes or so seem to drag along aimlessly.
