Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and the curious. If you loved David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet or Apollo 11, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart, eye-opening.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 3 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

A documentary about the corrupt health care system in The United States whose main goal is to make profit even if it means losing people’s lives. "The more people you deny health insurance, the more money we make" is the business model for health care providers in America.
