Just a completely “holds no punches” look at U.S foreign policy in the 21st century and how diplomacy and the precedent set by protectorate state status by the U.S has historically been a way to occupy and concede through force. The unmasked precedent set through the press cultivation of saviordom reveals carpet-bombing a state into concession, as any red scare can be transformed into another drunken levy of the neoconservative neocolonialist agenda, wherein all investment goes into bridled and bombed states. 

Not to mention, the emotional core here is on point, as the cultural differences in freedom of movement are the inciting incident that prove ruinous for people intercepted into survivalist factions as their protection is the shield for their freedom which is the mask over the brewing destruction and economic concessions. The children are the pawns of a “save the children” mentality whose healthcare policy is not going to accept any further research if it means restricting “freedom.” The film’s criticism is unique in that it is historically precedented, a reaction to 21st century “revival” of U.S intervention, and through imperial history, a look at how the boomerang comes back.
