S07 Fortune cookie #6-Martin Luther King
While trying to find a way into writing about a half-dozen vital documentaries with social awareness—including Cocalero and White Light/Black Rain, the day after An Inconvenient Truth, Deliver Us From Evil, Iraq in Fragments, Jesus Camp and My Country, My Country constituted an incredibly strong selection of Best Documentary Feature nominees, this quotation from Martin Luther King fell out of my notebook: "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." These filmmakers know this, too, and demonstrate that knowledge through their actions.
