So, I look around out there and the most charitable thing I see about the so-called "documentary" is that it's a "slick infomercial," while the opposite end calls it "poisonous speculation." Okay, I'll admit, I wrote that last one, based on the WWW searching I did, mostly on Bill Maher (link below) doing a serious number on the "filmaker" and the fact that the guy is basing the "documentary" on his book "The Roots of Obama's Rage."
To me, it's a clear link to where the guy is coming from, and I have to believe that people who are giving each other knowing looks about it are either:
1) pre-disposed to a particular (shall we say, right-ish) viewpoint or,
2) thinking like me that this is just another right-wing hatchet job in an election year where the Republican candidate is seen as a very weak option for that side.
As things move forward on this blog, I'll gather some material and add it to this post, just as a reference location that I can point folks toward when they try to suggest that I should "go and see it because it'll show me the truth."
One thing I'm seriously convinced of is that the truth is nowhere near what's being distributed and broadcast in this attempting-to-be-bought-and-paid-for election. When, at this writing, over 17 million dollars in out-of-state anonymous money has been spent on a senatorial election in Ohio, surely it's clear to everyone that this campaign finance thing is out of control.

View these links to read (and watch video). They explain about how this hatchet job is bought and paid for by entities with power, influence, and authority, supported by anonymous money that's permitted and enabled by our partisan Supreme Court. Anyone with a little bit of internet savvy can find lots and lots more.
