"You Can Watch a Country Eating Itself Alive"
Interesting Todd Gitlin review of Brett Morgen's documentary, Chciago 10, which mixes archival footage and animated sequences in retelling the story of the horrific events that took place in Chicago in 1968. Significantly, Gitlin reads the 1968 war protests against what he regards as the much savvier netroots actions during the current war in Iraq.
Morgen has done some interesting work in the past. His 2002 doc, The Kid Stays in the Picture was a fascinating look at a Hollywood mogul, so I'll be curious to see if Chicago 10 lives up to its Sundance buzz.
