Fursonas The Documentary...

So, I just saw the furry documentary, Fursonas.
I was a little disappointed that my interview never made it to the final cut, BUT I'm also glad it didn't. I'll tell you why.....
Fursonas starts off light hearted with interviews from many walks of life in the community. You get a good idea what it's all about as a whole from the very different points of view of these individuals. Much of focus is on Boomer The Dog and Diezel Raccoon. Two VERY different people. I won't go into detail. It also has a wonderful speech given by Anthrocon chairman, Uncle Kage.
The first and second act are well done. You get to know these people in a personal way and understand where each are coming from. Dispelling myths while giving you an aside look into there regular lives.
Act 3 was disappointing. It degenerated into the piss on Kage hour. Using public footage of Uncle Kage's rants during his "How To talk To The Media" panels and a webcast he did of wine sampling, Dominic played footage of Kage going off on Boomer and Chew Fox who dared appear on television. Lots of mud slinging and profanity ensued. Shit like this benefits no one. Not sure why he decided to allow such a good documentary to fall flat at the end. Maybe he thought a little controversy would sell tickets? Those who know me personally know I never get involved with stupid shit like in fighting. I don't take sides. I was really disappointed and I was relieved my interview was left on the cutting room floor. Though, I DO appear in fursuit very briefly posing for a photo with Dominic.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents....

Is this for sale somewhere ?
I'm not a fan of Kage. But I do feel that a more objective presentation of Kage, both sides of him should have been done so as to have the viewer decide on their own about him and his presence in the fandom.
