Jeffrey Jones

This movie is extremely important because it charts out how Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer helped steal the 2016 election through Facebook data mining and targeted messaging. Taken in many parts from Brittany Kaiser's book "Targeted" it makes clear a strategy used in the US and in other countries to rig elections; identifying opposition political sectors (Blacks, in the US) and targeting them with information that encourages them NOT TO VOTE. Important today in light of the Elon Musk takeover of Xitter, because social media election guard rails are coming down, and one of the most important elections in US history is coming up in 2024.

Very entertaining, but also heart-wrenching in the continual presentation of life and death situations for patients and doctors. It is inspiring because it reflects my own experience as a patient; my family doctor is an excellent, perceptive and highly effective physician, but I have heard many experiences of bureaucratically straightjacketed, statistically correct unimaginative treatments that are common in the public (less expensive) health system. In a memorable exchange, the leading character's wife talks to skeptical hospital donors at a fund raiser who are miffed by the doctor's absence, clarifying that he is not schmoozing donors so he can attend to patient emergencies. And as a result, the fund raiser is A TOTAL SUCCESS! I know, I know, not very realistic; but can't we fantasize about a better world?
