"They have, essentially, ignored the family's of the victims." Netflix has revealed a trailer for a provocative and chilling new documentary film titled Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, which just premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival a week ago. Following the premiere it's set to being streaming on Netflix in February. Critics have said this is the kind of film that will make you afraid of flying Boeing ever again, if everything in the news hasn't already made you concerned. It's executive produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard. Sundance's intro: the film is a "comprehensive investigation into the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Families of the victims relate the human cost of these tragedies, while aviation experts and former Boeing employees reveal what went wrong at the company, offering damning evidence of lies, negligence, and cover-up." It "serves as a searing indictment of a once-principled company corrupted by the influence of Wall Street to prioritize profits above all else." We need to stop this mentality.

Here's the official trailer for Rory Kennedy's doc Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, from YouTube:

Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Rory Kennedy uncovers the negligence and corporate greed that led to two Boeing MAX 737 plane crashes within the span of just five months. Guided by aviation experts, news journalists, former Boeing employees, the U.S. Congress, and the families of victims, the film reveals a culture of reckless cost-cutting and concealment at the once-venerated company. A fierce indictment of Wall Street's corrupting influence, this exposes larger questions about the perils of America's corporate ethos and the staggering human cost. Downfall: The Case Against Boeing is directed by award-winning doc producer / filmmaker Rory Kennedy, director of the doc films American Hollow, Different Moms, A Boy's Life, Ghosts of Abu Ghraib, Ethel, Last Days in Vietnam, Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton, and Without a Net previously. Produced by Rory Kennedy, Mark Bailey, Keven McAlester, Amanda Rohlke, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes. This just premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival this year. Netflix will debut the Downfall doc streaming on Netflix starting February 18th, 2022 this winter. Who's interested?
