The film is more effective as an emotional appeal for better corporate behavior than a stringent analysis of the complicated scenario.

Rotten
There are good lessons to be learned from the Market Basket saga. "We the People" doesn't trust the audience to figure them out for themselves.

Combining court documents, footage of the protests, and interviews with reverent personnel, reporters, and politicians, Reid's fast-paced and engaging film appears to play out as a simple question-and-answer exercise.

The filmmakers have made this for the purposes of near-term celebration rather than long-term understanding, and they're probably judging their audience well.
