There was one scene where an Indian woman was chastising DeCaprio for not leading by example. She was 100% right, if the leaders and people involved in this movement really, really cared, they would lead by example; and it is not happening:

I watched it the other night on line. I thought it did an excellent job. In fact, Decaprio, as narrator, did not hide his deeper pessimism that there really is not a painless exit strategy. That gave the film some depth actually.

IF you were the director of this film what do you think would have been more effective in moving Joe6P. It is easy to critisize and I agree the points you made but I just wonder what would have been more effective?
