Pump! (2014)
A documentary should be written with more impartiality
The general idea of the movie makes a lot of sense, but I am a Brazilian and what they say about Brazil is so terribly wrong and unreal... Sounds like the former president Lula paid for the movie. Just minutes with false propaganda. I can't tell about all the rest, which as I said makes sense, however, the part that I know about makes me think the whole thing wasn't properly investigated at all. Brazil is in a terrible economic crisis... We could say that the movie is from 2012/2013, when things were a bit better, but even though, the ethanol is far far far away from being a competitor beside gas. It was never Lula's, like the movie makes people think. They say 40% of our population entered in the middle class, but what happened is that the government intentionally changed the measuring, so after Lula, anyone who makes 2,500 USD a year (!) can be considered in middle class. It's just ridiculous... and the producers didn't investigate it. They certainly only heard one side of the story... which is the worst thing a documentarist can do.
