A new cinematic investigation into Boeing is set to debut on Netflix, shedding light on the controversial history of the aerospace giant. Directed by Rory Kennedy, the 93-minute film scrutinizes the manufacturer's operational practices and internal culture. The documentary centers on allegations that the company has repeatedly placed financial gains and production speed above the safety of its passengers, a central theme in the testimony provided by late quality control engineer John Barnett.

According to Simple Flying, the production aims to provide a comprehensive look at the whistleblowing case that ignited significant public scrutiny regarding Boeing’s manufacturing standards. Barnett, who worked at the company for over three decades, raised repeated alarms about the quality of production at the firm's facilities before his death. The film contextualizes his warnings within a broader investigation into the company’s structural integrity and oversight processes.

As the aviation industry continues to grapple with intense regulatory pressure and public trust challenges, the documentary is expected to reignite debates surrounding corporate accountability in commercial aerospace. By highlighting the experiences of those who challenged the status quo from within, the film serves as a critical retrospective on the challenges facing major industrial manufacturers today.
