Although Boote seemed to be biased, in fact he created such an overwhelming argument that it almost seemed one sided. If one looks closely however, one begins to realize that perhaps he is less manipulative than he appears. He tries to convince plastic corporations to speak with him, he attempts to show both sides of the story. The plastic producers however, were not to be persuaded. They keep their secrets under tight lock and key, choosing to show nothing to the world. Still Boote directs many interviews with people around the globe, it seems he is just unable to find anyone willing to take the side of plastic. He displays the issue as it is, and does not use slimy narration or loaded cuts to waive the viewer's mind. He simply shows the audience the truth behind cheap goods, he displays the vastness of the toxic pollution that is poisoning our world. This point is important to show because if Boote were truly biased, it would almost truncate his argument. But when one sees that he shows his side of the story, and attempts to show the other, it in fact builds his argument up. Because the plastic companies refused to make a statement, one can assume that they have something to hide. But why hide it? The very fact that this argument seemed to be beginning at the beginning shows that the argument is simply lopsided. One side is right, and the other side is scared to argue, or even make a statement in retaliation.
