Film review: "Sachin: A Billion Dreams" (2017)

Submitted by rickeyre on May 31, 2017 - 1:42pm

At two hours and nineteen minutes plus intermission, "Sachin: A Billion Dreams" never drags, although it probably does not warrant a place on the top shelf of sporting documentaries. A love letter to be sure, but a well-crafted one.

"One Day of War" (2004)

Submitted by rickeyre on December 21, 2004 - 4:19am

By sheer chance I happened to watch on BBC World last night the second part of a two-hour documentary produced for BBC Two's "This World" program called "One Day of War". It was a quite fascinating account of sixteen people in each of sixteen trouble spots around the world, all filmed on the same day, 22 March 2004.
