ReportSynopsis
From the director of “Made In America” and “The Money Pit” comes a hilarious look at one of the most expensive blunders in military history. Over 17 years and almost as many billion dollars have gone into devising the BFV (Bradley Fighting Vehicle). There's only one problem. . . it doesn't work.

Gaslighting on the level of a project manager lying about the state/success of a project or lying to an inspector. Its ineffective and the disbelief of it is a core plot driver.

Sheep. Inhaled fumes. Offscreen death and no gore/suffering but brief sequences with sheep bodies in the back of a truck . Directly relevant to the plot.
