John H. Smihula's compelling video documentary aims for both hearts and minds.
By Joshua Land
FULL REVIEW 75
Though Army officials vigorously defend the school, after watching so many grim interviews with victims of the school's alumni, agreeing with Smihula's skepticism is finally unavoidable.
70
A move that would be hilariously absurd if it weren't so scary.
50
The result is anti-Army propaganda rather than a balanced piece of reporting.
50
A sober, focused piece that asks Americans to take another look at what is going on in their own backyard.
50
A worthy title for cable nets scheduling hard-hitting documentary fare
40
Nods at objectivity but announces its activist intentions throughout.
