No Accident (2023)
Yep, Ignore the Naztys: Fascinating, Compelling Look into the Fight Against Pure Evil
This is an excellent piece of documentary filmmaking - fully engrossing and very moving. At first, I thought it would turn out to be a bit dry, but you get sucked in by the harrowing story and the relentless dedication of the lawyers seeking to make sure these evil actors in our country pay for their acts of stealth terrorism. To its credit, the film is not only an in depth look at this particular piece of litigation, but also a welcome look into what the life of a litigation lawyer is like: round the clock hours, mountains of paper, exhausting attention to detail, Red Bull and lots and lots of sugar. The movies always paint lawyer life as glamorous hangouts in fancy offices, but the reality is messy war rooms and red eyes from lack of sleep and way too much work.
Outstanding documentary on all accounts.
The Crime of the Century (2021)
Mass Murderers Get Slap on the Wrist Because They're Wealthy and Powerful
Is the true title of this exacting complex account of the crimes perpetrated by the Sackler family, Kapoor and others in murdering over half 1 million Americans. They knew there was a statistical certainty that their highly addictive poison would slaughter a certain percentage of users. But they didn't care because they had yachts to buy and museums to put their name on. Business as usual.
