Usually I'm not a huge fan of courtroom dramas - but I do love Emily Mann.
Her ability to weave narratives from myriad sources and create original "documentary" drama is astounding. Piecing together documentary footage, courtroom transcripts, interviews, news clips and making a piece of art that isn't too confusing or overwhelming is quite a feat. Somehow, Emily Mann manages to do do that.
She also makes very sociologically interesting dramas. Which, of course, piques my interest.
Is Execution of Justice one-sided? Perhaps. Artistically irresponsible? Perhaps. Did I enjoy it because I'm a left-wing lesbian? Perhaps. But I still loved it.
