It succeeds as a tribute to John Barnett but fails to explore the systemic chain of accountability beyond the CEO.
Pros
- Improved visual style using firsthand footage
- Respectful tribute to whistleblower John Barnett
- Provides harrowing insight into corporate manufacturing malpractices
Cons
- Narratively retreads ground from the previous documentary
- Lacks depth on the broader chain of accountability
- Fails to offer actionable paths toward systemic change
