Dear Zachary

Did anybody catch this documentary on MSNBC this past Sunday? I was absolutely blown away...

I don't really want to give anything away, but I am pretty sure it is on late Sunday afternoon, early evening. Not sure of the specific time, but if you are around next Sunday, look this up. Wow.

A friend of mine worked on this, and absolutely raves about it. I am not sure I will ever be able to watch it.

Yeah, the emotions that I went through while watching this I'm not sure any film has ever made me go through.

It's the way its made. It's made over like an eight year period, in real time, not in retrospect. So.. basically, your reacting to news as the people in the documentary are.

Basically, if you plan on watching it, the main thing I would say is do not read anything about it going into it.

This kept me up way too late last night, but I passed out before it ended unfortunately.. I will definitely be watching this whenever I get the chance because like Scoobz said, it is a very powerful documentary. Set your DVR's and sit down and watch this people.

I can see where digamma would have nothing to do with this.

Yes, I saw it too. It was pretty good. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and listening to.

I had a hard time keeping up with what was going on though in some parts.

Editing could have been a little tighter in my opinion, however, I don't think anything was lost because of it.
