A documentary that chillingly illustrates the decline not only of democracy but of moral leadership in America.

It's a lot to take in, as names and numbers zip by, yet missing some of its points may be healthy. To explore every moment is to risk overdosing on outrage.

3/5

It's two hours of outrage and bafflement that illustrates just how deep the rabbit hole goes -- or at least how deep it is believed to go.

Succeeds and suffers by the sheer weight of its substantiation. An impressive achievement but one which is ultimately unlikely to lead to change.

I wish every idiot who voted for Trump would be forced to watch this. Actually, no i don't, most Trump supporters don't have the brain cells to understand the nuance. What i do wish is that somehow we could dumb this down to grade 5 level and get everyone to understand, its not left vs right, not libs vs conservs, it is US v Russia, democracy vs authoritarianism. The problem is if the roles were reversed, if it was Biden or Clinton or Sanders, I would say the same thing, but its the little red-faced dear leader of the right and God forbid anyone on the right point out his failings.

I was hoping to see some neutral opinions but 5 minutes was enough to see who are the speakers. The most prejudiced Ms. Clinton, who was using Russia in her campaign. Someone told her personally Putin wants to be the richest person, he wants to be the tzar? All this sounds so naive. Then they found some Dr. Alina Polyakova, who was born in USSR, more particular in Ukraine and it says it all. John Maccain, no comment.

An enlightening and harrowing documentary, "Active Measures" takes some big name interviews from Hillary Clinton and John McCain (and many others) and connects the dots to the Russian influence in United States elections and why the President may have been compromised. It's an establishment piece, but I happen to think it's based in truth. There is way too much smoke for their to be no fire. This is going to be viewed as "Fake News" by right wing and impeachment worthy by the far left and it comes out at a time the President is running a cabinet in total disarray despite most of the interviews being done a couple of years before the release of the film. Does that mean it's all true? Of course not. Where does the precise truth lie? We'll never know. Final Score: 8.6/10

There are so many inaccurate statements in this documentary it comes across as satire. 🤡🌍
