The Most Expensive Movie I've Ever Seen

I'm in graduate school for my second degree, this one in public health.  It's an executive program tailored for working professionals so we only meet for one day out the month for four months.  While we meet all day on those days, every hour is precious.

Imagine my sputtering disbelief when during February's class we watched a documentary movie for an hour and a half!



I'm surprised the professor would hesitate to assign the movie as homework.  We are regularly assigned reams of reading outside of class that we never seem to have time in class to discuss.  The day's agenda was provided beforehand, I was researched the movie and history of the controversy before class (duh.  that should have been the original assignment!).  During movie time, I pulled out my work laptop and got caught up on some minutes and other project management minutiae.  I figured I could put in a solid 30" while everyone watched.  However, after an hour, it was clear we were going to watch the whole thing.  I was so aghast that I took a picture:

That's the professor in the purple sweater at the front, also watching the movie.

At better than $1100 for each of these four classes, this is by far the most expensive movie I've ever seen.

Worse?  This is the *second* movie we've seen.

For shame!
