Gripping story telling. Instead of the usual historical documentary - this work reveals very quickly the personality of the protagonists which makes the story alive, almost like a vibrant novel. The editing is creative and playful and keeps you in the room with these three lively jewish men.
I read the book, I saw the movie - this works as easily but it is even more dramatic - because it's the real thing !! - this stuff is all the most salient bits of the commerical story. There are such moving moments in the telling, you could never write anything like it.The interviewees are an eloquent colorful goldmine, and Cole handles the material respectfully, masterfully. The editing, writing and delivery keep a perfect pace - there's no lagging, no time for wandering.
