10/10
Santiago, a craftsman of film

I saw this today, only 1 hour ago and it has not sunk in yet. The director of the Cuban Film Institute came to our school today and showed us some of the most beautiful cinema I have ever seen. All short documentaries that are brief but concise. This is a montage of different images from the JFK, Martin Luthor King and Bobby Kennedy triumphs and assesinations, all three events being observed by Lyndon Johnson as the dark figure who is plotting the anti-black rights movement. The montage is so well done for 1968, you can see and feel the amount of work put into this short. Truly a masterpiece of documentary cinema, a must see for anyone interested in the genre.
