Oh wow, thanks for the suggestion, Abrams.
Brad, I was going to say something earlier about his dad as well. I absolutely loved his calm, down to earth view of all of man submitting to sin at some point in some way. The mother’s discussion with Chris towards the end really annoyed me because the mother in her shut her mind off to reason and the points being posed by her son.
There are a few interviews in the movie where it’s fairly obvious Chris asks one question to push the discussion further but is met with resistance, so he just lets the interviewee continue with whatever the want to say as he just listens and records. A second example in my mind is the father with the son who committed suicide (the psychiatrist must feel horrible) and refutes the argument that steroid side effects are reversible based on death not being reversible.[/quote]
I think the best part, for me at least, was his interview with a certain politician . . . what’s the drinking age, etc? Absolutely perfect.
I hope to see more documentaries, or films of any kind, from Mr. Bell.

Yeah but that interview took place in the dead kids’ bedroom, in the mans’ house. I think Chris did a good job considering the environment required him to be tactful but still ask hard questions. As it’s edited, Chris clearly got the vibe and backed off when Mr. Hooton stopped and said “look, My son is dead…”
Not only was that a good interview, I couldn’t figure out for the life of me where I’d seen the boxart (with Hogan standing atop the syringes and such) before! I would have thought that I’d have jumped to see a movie like this, and that’s why I couldn’t make sense of it. Now I remember, it was your interview that introduced me when it was first published.
