Never See the Light of Day
Like the fiercely private and recluse Marion Stokes, I doubt her hard work and analyses will ever see the light of day, other than this documentary. She is a stunning woman, and sharp. She set up with her second husband a tv program called Input. With a social justice bent, Marion and her husband John would invite other activists or religious figures to discuss current affairs.
However she is known for her eccentricities as well. She has taped everything on her tv recorder. Whatever was on, it was taped. News stories that altered their perception, just ever so slightly manipulating their viewers. I just wish she made this documentary to point out all the discrepancies she has reviewed. We would have much from her.
My only complaint was the "score." Whoever decided to add Charlie Brown-esque music over war scenes just threw me out of it. The music is too "bouncy." I haven't finished the documentary yet.
