Movie Review: The Wild (2006)

Movie Review: Daughter from Danang (2002)

A film by Gail Doglin and Vicente Franco Daughter from Danang was nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar at the 2003 Academy Awards. For that alone, I figured it would be worth seeing. The subject matter was also moderately interesting to me, but I am always interested in a well made...
