The documentary "A Precarious State" gets a little debunking by the Strib.

"What to make of ‘A Precarious State,’ the new film that sees Minneapolis through a dark lens
Producer paid to broadcast documentary focusing on crime, test scores and socialism."

For example:

Kupchella’s central argument is that Minneapolis is being mis-served by politicians aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America. City Council Member Robin Wonsley, in particular, is framed as the leader of the City Council’s progressive wing and someone harboring radical ideas.

“She doesn’t believe in capitalism; she wants the government to own it all,” says Carol Becker, a writer for the Minneapolis Times website who’s long known for sparring with the city’s progressive wing and who serves as one of the film’s main commentators.

Becker’s characterization of Wonsley as “the leader” of the council’s DSA-aligned bloc is sure to raise eyebrows with City Hall observers. While Wonsley is among the most outspoken council members, council Vice President Aisha Chughtai, who also chairs the powerful Budget Committee, is the DSA member with the most authority.

Wonsley is never interviewed, nor are her supporters. Kupchella said he read her campaign website, but it’s not summarized in the film.

2. Not entirely, but definitely slanted.
