As If You Needed Another Reason…

Jon Alpert and Matthew O’Neill’s Baghdad E.R. and Spike Lee’s When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, both H.B.O. productions, won Peabody Awards yesterday.

I found these films to be enormous masterworks with tremendous amounts to say to all of us. They are required viewings. If you haven’t seen Baghdad E.R. and When the Levees Broke, you really ought to do so immediately if not sooner.
