Why aren’t films like the one mentioned in the article “plastic china” free to watch? They seem like a great educational piece to use but I tried searching and I had to purchase it — I understand the creators need to make money off this to survive but I think government should subsidize these films so they are free for the public to view


If the government funded them they'd immediately be accused of bias by whoever was the receiving end.


How much extra in taxes do you wish to pay for this? And what happens when the government chooses a subject you don't wish to support?


1. 1$ a year. 2. I accept that I lost a dollar
