Who here has seen the Ivory Tower Documentary?

Just seeing if anyone else here besides myself has seen this documentary. It's pretty eye-opening and informative. Just wanted to get other people's opinions of it.

I watched it last Friday. I thought it was pretty interesting. More of a "this is what we think the state of the system is, make your own decisions kind of thing". Didn't do any favors to MOOCs or Udacity, not that I'm complaining. 

There really needs to be a movie on Grad school though. Ivory Tower should really have been about grad school. Or they should have named it differently.

There is the "PhD Movie" by the PhD Comics people. There is about 2 days left in a Kickstarter campaign to fund a sequel--I don't want to link it here since I don't want to be advertising anything, but you can find it if you search the Google!
