i be lucky to see troop 1500 in it full feature length version at the dallas video fest . i hear there be a short version which will be broadcast on tv . quite frankly and i have never see a documentary which be both artistically innovative and radical in it content . the idea of girl interview their own mother in jail be nothing short of genius and i can not imagine any other filmmaker tell this story with as much wisdom and heart and soul and depth . ellen spiro and karen bernstein have present an eye open gift to the world and a film which will make it hard to ignore the child of incarcerated mother . i see every documentary i possibly can and include the big commercial hit like fahrenheight 911 and but troop 1500 be by far the best one i can remember . i wish it would be see in every cineplex in america and but the next best thing be to see it on dvd or television in it shorter form . highly recommend from someone who be as critical and cynical a anyone . troop 1500 be a fierce and urgently attentive work of art .
