Blue Fight: The Breaking Down of Young Blue Warriors
In this angry newsreel compilation of injustice against the oppressed, there occurs, without any particular preparation, a most shocking documentary sequence: the meticulously detailed, on-camera killing of a captured prisoner - possibly in the course of the Congo Crisis - who, cringing on the ground, has just been promised life. Since the outcome is unknown to either him or us, we share - in the comfort of a movie theater - his unbearable dread, and attempt to believe, as does he, the promises and taunts of his captors. A tiny part of our humanity, perhaps, dies with this unknown man - one nameless victim out of thousands dying somewhere at any given moment. —Amos Vogel
