“The Way We Move”
A fascinating documentary about an ASL (American Sign Language) music camp. Each student eventually books a gig where they interpret the lyrics for a concert. There have been clips over the years where fans were really appreciative of the ASL interpreters and just how into the shows they were while they translated.
This film hit the right notes of emotion, side stories, and the finale of watching the interpreters do their thing in front of thousands of fans at concert(s).
Any musician and concert lover should check out this film. But, the human interest element makes it a worthy watch for any film lover.
4 out of 5
“Public Access”
This documentary details the long storied history of public access from its early days in the 1970’s. I was interested in this film as I don’t recall having much public access on TV when I was growing up here in Seattle, WA. It may have been available and we just didn’t have it in our home but I had heard about it for sure.
While the subject matter is of interest, the storytelling was a bit lacking for my taste from the filmmakers. Having said that, the film was still interesting to me but it definitely could have been better in more skilled hands.
