I watched it. It was ~ok. From what I've read elsewhere about Weider, it's fairly sanitized. I suppose that's to be expected since a family member had a hand in the making of the film. Weider was reported to be a fairly ruthless self-promoter. His supplements were way overpriced for what you were actually getting, and the film makes no mention of steroids. Sanitized. Whitewashed.
An interesting 1989 article about Weider:

Even though Bob Hoffman pretty much introduced them to American lifters
I think you're on to something, but I do believe Weider took it to the next level.
