Well done.  The lack of consciousness goes deeper then we all know.  Our educational system and society in general have been structured to suppress free thinking, while convincing us that we’re the ultimate nation.  “All good things come out of America!” .. yeah right.  I encourage everyone to watch the Zeitgeist documentaries.  Free yourself from mental slavery.

good work.  When I came to the US in 2001, I experienced the same apathy and ignorance among Americans. It’s a nice effort and a very well done film.  I liked various opinions included in the film. 

your film proves that there is awareness among youth about global issues, which is a good sign.

We here in America are lost in a ignoble society that has little or no intrest in other cultures, unless that culture can add on to the american pie.
WAKE UP THE YOUTH, OR IS IT ALREADY TO LATE.
