Boeing Under Fire as Investigation into Executives is Dropped

The documentary 'Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing' sheds light on the aerospace company's ongoing problems, including its handling of design defects that may have contributed to hundreds of passenger deaths. The film is a follow-up to Rory Kennedy's 2022 documentary about Boeing and its issues.

In the wake of the whistleblower's death, President Biden's Department of Justice pursued criminal investigations against Boeing executives for misleading the public about the true nature of these design defects. However, when the Trump administration took over, this investigation was dropped.

The author commends Director Rory Kennedy on creating an important film that paints a broader portrait of the dangers of unregulated capitalism, particularly under a government that is either unwilling or unable to hold corporations accountable for their actions.
