I just watched "Betting on Zero," and gotta say, it's quite the ride. This documentary drives home its points on this evil corporation. They mix interviews, undercover work, and personal experiences to expose what horrible things have taken place. They talk with ex-Herbalife sellers who got the short end of the stick, and there's Bill Ackman, a hedge fund manager leading a full-on crusade against the company. They try to play it fair, showing both sides of the story, which gives a nice balance.
They do seem to drag a bit on the story and they could've made the film shorter but I didn't really mind it that much. It shouldn't affect weather or not you see the film (in my opinion).
Ackman is focused on a lot in this movie and I can see why some people don't like that they focus on him so much. On the other hand, I think it shows that there are people on many ranges of income that are working to fight against Herbalife. And that it is not just a rich v.s the poor scenario.
So even though there are its cons, "Betting on Zero" seriously nails it when it comes to uncovering the shady side of corporate greed. I love how they went over the story without making you want to stop watching it out of boredom. It tugs at your heart with personal stories, and makes you realize how unfair the world can be. If you are interested I highly recommend it, especially if you are getting into the world of business.
