Does anyone else in UofT MDSA11 used Letterboxd? That’s the only reason I watched this. Class requirement. Not bad though.

thought this was alright. nothing super special but thought it did a good job presentating the information. a lot of it felt extremely repetitive though and a little boring.

Kinda feels like this year's The Social Dilemma. Raised a lot of valid points but kind of fell short of nailing its message. Also, there was a vague Sinophobic undercurrent.
