I understand the idea that this is a fake scenario presented as a real one in order to critique the behavior present in the film, and usually that kind of idea works for me, but I don't know about this one... This feels like a subject matter that can and should be critiqued more responsibly. Especially when screening this to people while they're under the impression that its real. I think making this (especially in the 70's) would give way too many people the wrong impression and make some think of this as an endorsement of the behavior rather than a critique. I know satire isn't meant to be understood by those that its satirizing, but the way this is made, and the subject matter, and the time period all combine to make this feel deeply irresponsible.
