Between 2020 and 2024, director Alex Gibney made 12 donations to Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

April 14, 2022: “Like Elon’s ‘free market.’ Definitely not free and unaffordably expensive.”
September 20, 2022: Recommended a Polestar over a Tesla, adding “Bonus: when you buy one you are not giving your money to Elon Musk.”
When a director hates and despises the subject they are covering, you will never get a fair and balanced documentary.
