		<description>I actually found quite a few things to say about this video. First of all, I liked the interview scenes, especially the one with the former policeman. I thought that in the second time we see him, the closeup of his face was really good.

I have to agree about the still photography. In the middle of a piece that&#039;s been entirely video, the stills were jolting and out of place. I can understand that maybe they couldn&#039;t shoot video that day or that perhaps the video wasn&#039;t compelling enough, but I still think including the stills through off the rhythm of the piece.

Now for the titles, the onscreen text... Too many! I didn&#039;t remember much of that information after watching. I remembered the stuff that the people on camera told me, but the text flew by, seeming unimportant. Plus, the way the filmmaker tried to punctuate using the text on a black background almost parodied the somber mood I think he was going for.

Any why is the drummer talking at the end? He doesn&#039;t have much of a connection to the story, and if he does, it wasn&#039;t fleshed out enough for me to want to hear him speak. Better, I think, would have been to just let him play and note him in the end credits.

In all, good length. Good subject matter but the onscreen titles were a crutch for the storyteller here.</description>
