Crawford

Documentary filmmakers are attracted to politics like bees to nectar, and it is no different here. The story focuses on the families and friends of Crawford, Texas, during the first seven years with the new neighbor-in-chief. But the story keeps pulling back to the politics. Maybe they're inseparable; it's not that I mind the story being told, but I'm not sure it's what the director meant to say. Regardless, the filmmaker found found wonderful characters and captured them at their prime.
