It's certainly an exhausting experience. It requires patience, attention, and even interaction. And I won't pretend I enjoyed every second of it. But despite some frustrations and some wishing for a little more self-editing, I was absolutely compelled to keep pushing forward, to see what Jacobs had to say, to see what footage would be next, to see how it would be reconfigured or juxtaposed. He makes the political personal, the personal historical. A very trying but frequently rewarding film.
