On Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I quote reviews and comment on ten of them in
The most honored political documentaries of 2017 examine crime, injustice, and the Syrian Civil War. The ones I don't mention are "Faces, Places," "Jane," "Long Strange Trip," "One of Us," and "Unrest," which are not on my list, have made the Oscar shortlist and are as good as any of the my top five. Here's to five out of my favorites, "Abacus," "Chasing Coral," "City of Ghosts," "Ex Libris," "Jane," "Long Strange Trip," "Strong Island," and "Unrest," filling up the slots when the Oscar nominees are announced.
I should compose an "all about me" post. Manana.
