Anyone seen "This Film Is Not Yet Rated"?

Caught it on IFC over the weekend, just curious if anyone else had.

Pretty interesting documentary look at the MPAA and their ratings board. Entertaining bit was that the filmmaker hired detectives to track down and identify members of the super-secret rating board, which in the end revealed the falsehood of a number of statements made by the MPAA. Essentially showed the way (caveat: in the opinion of the filmmaker, who was clearly pursuing his agenaa...) the board was designed to serve at the behest of the major studios, and how they act to censor what the public is going to see.
