I was reminded by PJ in the comments to the preceding post of the opening tonight in many major cities of Voices of Iraq – a documentary about the Iraqis in their own words (how’s that for a new thought?). I’m told it is quite good and will try to get to see it over the weekend. Of course, all documentaries, no matter how verité their cinéma, reflect the editorial biases of their makers, but in a form now dominated by the most mendacious man in its history, all correctives are welcome.

But, then, I am naive, for some reason, I was thinking this documentary was going to be shown on PBS, until I got to the link and discovered otherwise.
I should have known better!
