    Is this production in your view – promoting, furthering, making fun of, marginalizing or satirizing: the American government or military, certain groups of people, or general efforts towards security for Americans within the US? 

    Does this production seem to idealize the US or promote America or its people as exceptional in any way? Or is it critical of the US?
