Girl Model (Redmon and Sabin, 2011)

Last updated on: May 27, 2015 at 10:03 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

Big Boys Gone Bananas!* (Gertten, 2012)

Last updated on: March 2, 2015 at 6:32 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Big Boys Gone Bananas!*, aside from having the distinction of the hardest title in awhile to spell correctly, is the kind of film of which every documentary film festival needs at least one. It’s not exactly a feel good story, but it is a feel better story. Read more
