Primary
The film's left-leaning rating stems from its central critique of corporate power and its willingness to suppress truth for profit, highlighting the systemic challenges faced by individuals fighting for public welfare against powerful industries.
The movie features a traditional cast that accurately reflects the real-life individuals and the historical context of the story, without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative centers on themes of journalistic integrity and corporate ethics, rather than explicitly engaging with or critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
