I think the film was part of a political ploy meant to influence American politics and this election.

The intent could actually be of a terrorist nature.

I am not jumping to conclusions as so many of my fellow liberals here are doing. Mainly because I am familiar with how the 'free press' is manipulated by the powerful.
