" I think any documentary filmmaker has the right to take that Jane Fonda footage and do with it whatever they please"

Ya... the onus is NOT on the filmmaker to 'present unbiased fact' but rather for the view to watch critically... Which I'm sure any film-maker (docu or fiction) prefers in an audience... The problem is in the quality of ones criticisim... The reviewer linked to above, obvioulsy has precious little grasp on the concept of film making... Especially documentary film making... Where ya, one edits and cuts and such for effect... The Heston stuff in question was pretty blatantly cobbled together from different speaches... he's in different clothing for crying out loud... any dullard can see that...

"some of us realize how thin and amiguous is the veil between truth and fiction"

There's a veil???

LOL
