This is a very interesting documentary film that also is a bit of a social/political commentary as well. I was glued to the movie for it's entirely; educational and fascinating at the same time.
If there really is a "spoiler" in my review it would start here:
It really wasn't too surprising to see the Fed government was the real "antagonist" of this story.
Back in the mid 90's the internet was just gaining traction so you didn't hear a lot of what was really going on like you do now. And like more people I was still under the umbrella of the gov and it's controlled media propaganda machine.
Now of days the stories of this kind of government bungling and corruption are all too common. And finally people can really see what is going on and the problem of big government. At least those that chose the "red pill" (the painful truth). There are still some 70% of America that are blissfully fine (taking the "blue pill") in the make believe world that the gov spins.
It would be interesting to know how much our government probably spent (your money!) on all this. From sending all of their lackey investigators out, to mobilizing the National Guard, the trial, the whole thing. I wouldn't be surprised if it exceeded the Dinosaur's monetary worth.
Furthermore you see the government's entitled mentality, and how they seem them self ABOVE the people. After all how is this the "governments" land when it's supposed to be the "people's". The "people" are not even part of the equation.
And you don't know, with there being a good possibility the land owner was a friend (I.E. big campaign contributor) of a politician that might have started the whole thing to begin with.
To me this is the most important lesson learned. You're government in their schemes and scams, bungling, backroom deals, and so on are not only wasting your tax money, they are actually using it against you!
This is a great documentary that everyone should see.
