It's out. I know a lot of folks want to see this. I know I do.
Greg Sargent says:
it’s very hard hitting stuff. Remarkably, much of the footage in this video — it features Bain layoff victims talking about how devastated their communities were by Romney’s “job creating” investments — would be perfectly at home in Dem attack ads

King Of Bain, When Mitt Romney Came To Town
[From Duke 1676 in the comments, a You Tube of the 28 minute movie]:

Meanwhile, Sargent also reports on a David Axelrod email about Romney's view that all critiques of Wall Street and advancing income equality are about "envy":
Not a gaffe. It’s what he believes. Last week he said “productivity equals income.”
But the point is, it hasn’t for the typical American worker over the last three decades, and, particularly, over the last decade.
This is the central challenge of our time, and he doesn’t get it.

Fired Up and Ready to Go!
Update 1: I watched the first 12 minutes. It is devastating. Few working class folks could watch this and not be affected.
Update II: Finally got to finish it. Karma will get Mitt Romney for the evil he has done. Every American needs to see that movie and understand before November.
Update III: TPM comments:
Its scenes achingly depict the devastation caused to small-town America when profit-obsessed large corporations shut down local plants, and would not be out of place in a Michael Moore documentary.
Romney and Bain Capital are presented as marauders who abused the capitalist system, fixated on creating dollar figures for their own funds rather than on building genuinely workable manufacturing plants that could help sustain communities. Indeed, it suggests they serially ran up debts at many of the companies they took over before forcing them into bankruptcy, and then skipping away unscathed themselves.
The documentary features interviews with former workers at factories that are said to have been run into the ground by Bain
