Negative Positive
Title: Long Time Coming
Review: I only discovered this film after searching for information on Rigoberta Menchu. As much as I have pursued activism, there is clearly a range of great work like this film circulating around.The astonishingly unlikely circumstances of the filmmakers' accomplishment convinces me of the underlying spiritual significance of this piece. The extent of documentation and of the different sides is tremendous, really deserving the inclusion of this film in fair trade coffee house screenings. I have also recently seen Romero, and intend to see Of Love and Shadows again. I also discovered an oldie, Viva Zapata!, which bears on similar issues.The tragedy of the genocide and propaganda of US Foreign Policy and Multinational Corporations is disgraceful and a betrayal of the culture's underlying religious ethics.The directors commentary is an incredible treat, on top of the filming, dramatic recreation, and splicing of Rigoberta Menchu.
