Why not name the film. If you don't there are implications. Other people may
buy it and be misled because they didn't know. The approach to this area
can not be corrected by not being specific on who what when where and how.
If a minister is way out of his field, and is saying false things, then that
needs to be pointed out. If you don't point the error out to the minister,
he has no chance of changing either.
