The film is good and I'm still not a fan of Nike or any other manufacturer of good that actively employs slave labor, for lack of a batter term.
BUT, the point in the film where the Jim shows some of the employees how much Tiger Woods makes in promotions from Nike - just to get that emotional response from them - made me feel as though he was using them almost as much for another kind of gain. These are people, not guinea pigs you prod and poke for display. As if he was saying: "Look at these sad, poor people. Aren't they sad and pathetic? But, I care. Watch me show you how much by making them even more sad. "
It's a super stretch I know, but I didn't feel too good as a human watching him do that.
