I thought this movie might be a ridiculous guilty shocking pleasure in the mold of Mondo Cane. I was wrong.
The footage is almost entirely fake. But it is not fake in a camp cheesy kind of way that would be redeeming, it is just fake in an annoying, utterly transparent way. A few scenes appear to be real newsreel stock footage, but these are a small portion of the total. Most are the kind of quality that would be cooked up by several high school students with red paint and a camera. Plus, there is gratuitous right wing propaganda worked into the narration for no apparent reason.
Don't waste your time.
