Thanks. I had more things I wanted to say about it, but I'm trying to prepare for my game and I don't have time to write it all down right now. Like, a story from one eye-witness 50 years after the fact isn't necessarily 'the truth' either, although I'm sure it was very interesting and moving. And, people always try to fit the events of their lives into some kind of story, and that's not necessarily a horrible thing - it's a way of processing what's happened and coming to grips with it. And, also, these docudramas will be useful sources for historians in fifty years who are trying to understand what people now thought about recent events, and if we place a moratorium on movies and books about historical events until after some certain amount of time has passed, we lose the immediacy of the aftermath, etc.
Maybe I'll write a post about it this evening, if I'm not too wiped :)
