It is rather different from Roger and Me and Bowling for Columbine since 
it relies very heavily in archival footage. Also, as Shannon pointed 
out, it contains little if anything that any reasonably well-informed 
person (especially one with Internet access) is not likely to know 
already. In addition, the subject matter is such that you're unlikely to 
find yourself laughing much. Personally, I was rather disappointed.

I don't think you would miss much by waiting for the video, but I 
suppose you will want to give it a look eventually.
