Also just remembered another interesting docu I saw recently, Chris Marker's LE TOMBEAU D'ALEXANDRE, about Aleksandr Medvedkin.
I have to correct myself and say that the family friend didn't exactly get punched in the face, but the point still stands.
Thanks for the suggestion about the movie, I haven't watched it. But probably should have already.
I'm a little bit conservative in regards to internet communications, so I'll drop you an email.
