Woody Guthrie: This Machine Kills Fascists (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this DVD, prompted by a positive review in Mojo magazine. However, in my view it's a waste of money.
The 2-hour plus DVD has been put together as a production for MTV-brained folk with a 15-second attention span: not one song is played in full and the interviews are lightweight reminiscences.
On the positive side there are nice period newsreel excerpts and period stills and some talk. However, even these items are kept brief, presumably to match the 15-second attention span the producers condescendingly think is the most a viewer is capable of.
People interested in Woody Guthrie are not like that!
