Once the pride of American technological know-how, Boeing took a wrong turn toward achieving the bottom line at all costs, even if it meant keeping pilots in the dark and putting passengers' lives at risk. In the end, two Boeing 737 MAX airliners crashed, killing 346 people. Boeing's PR campaign immediately went into action to disparage and cast aspersions on the flight crews and their countries. Luckily, the families and a few intrepid reporters and politicians would not take Boeing's word as final. The new Netflix documentary Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy, explores the aftermath of the two tragedies and who should be held responsible for them.  Watch the full interview at https://www.alamopictures.co.uk/podcast/the-downfall-of-boeing/  “If you went and killed one person you’d probably spend the rest of your life in prison, so why is a corporation protected, why are the people who run corporations protected?” - Rory Kennedy What is Covered: 00:00 - Lack of remorse: a clip from Downfall: The Case Against Boeing.  02:40 - What the documentary is about. 03:55 - What caused the Boeing plane to mechanically fail.  05:52 - The unique aspects of Boeing’s corporate greed.  08:26 - Why Rory decided to make a film about the crashes.  10:43 - The unique aspect of the story Rory portrays in her film. 14:04 - How Michael Stumo’s daughter died and how he’s coped with losing her. 16:11 - The challenges of making victims relive traumatic events. 17:35 - How the FAA and Boeing covered up the risk of their planes crashing. 19:47 - Why Boeing's management wasn’t held to account for what happened. 21:51 - The immense public outcry against what happened at Boeing. 23:13 - How much Boeing got fined for the deaths they caused. 26:00 - What Rory hopes the legacy of Downfall: The Case Against Boeing will be. 28:30 - Rory’s new film about the global refugee crisis. 34:47 - The dangers of climate change and the future of energy sources. 38:58 - Quality Manager: 2nd clip from the film Downfall: The Case Against Boeing.    Resources: Downfall: The Case Against Boeing (2021) Climate Emergency Fund MovieMaker Magazine Innersound Audio Alamo Pictures   Connect with Rory Kennedy: IMDb Connect with Factual America: Facebook Instagram Twitter Connect with Matthew Sherwood: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter More From Factual America: Chasing Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's Alleged Accomplice Curse of the Chippendales: a True Crime Story Stripped Bare  The Crime of the Century: Pharma and the US Opioid Crisis
