I have not see it yet but am looking forward to it when I get a break or some time off. Everyone remember support the documentary makers.

I bought the documentary and wanted to watch it with people that are not so proficient in English. The subtitles are off by ~2 seconds (too early), which is pretty annoying and gives a torrentish taste of "not comfortable watching" even though I paid 13$.
I found a workaround to better sync them, I think it exploits a bug in vimeo and should be reproducible with any browser. Works at least on firefox 32.0.3, linux.
Assuming you bought the movie and have access to it on vimeo:
1) go to this direct link:
http://player.vimeo.com/video/103528613
2) Choose your subtitles by clicking on "CC"
3) Start the movie
4) Immediately when it starts (after X seconds), click on "vimeo" link (bottom right). It will open the video in another tab
In this new tab, the subtitles will be delayed by X seconds (this is where it looks like a vimeo bug), so if you did step 4) when the movie was at ~2s, they should now be perfectly in sync.
Hope that helps!
PS: It would be much better if we could get access to srt files to watch the mp4 video offline with subtitles. If anybody from the documentary team is reading this, you know what to do!
