A compelling must see, a wake up call for humanity.
18 October 2009
I watched your documentary and was very moved by it (of course I cried most of the way through). A very unique way to present a documentary - without a narrator. Being Australian and living in Australia we don't experience first hand the issues that you portrayed (that's not to say we don't have our own fair share of issues to deal with over here) and so I began watching without prejudice. It was like riding a roller coaster, and at first I sympathised with the victims and felt angry with the law enforcers, then my sympathy went to the law enforcers and their families, etc, and then I was left with such a heavy heart because all were suffering. It must have been a very difficult task to present the issue without favouritism, and most of all without being able to formulate a solid or "neat" conclusion. My son began watching it with me but had to race off to work half way through. Later he asked me, "how did it finish", all I could say was "it didn't finish". Hopefully one day you can create a documentary in which you will be able to present the solution. It seems there is still a lot of racial tension over there which adds another element to law enforcement. I think this tension causes people to react to situations in questionable manners and once fear is added to the equation and adrenalin sets in the unimaginable and unthinkable occurs. God help us.

I look forward to seeing more of your creations, I think the world needs such wake up calls.
