Yes, if you're an American, you must watch this. And even if you're not an American, but living relatively comfortably in your modern bubble where you are safe and well fed and your troubles, although real enough, are nothing like the troubles most people in our world have to face every day just to survive. You and me, since I am writing this and you are reading it, obviously are not in that situation. But this film will take you there for a short trip. And you need to go there. It's a moral duty. Plus, it's an excellent movie.
