I'll be posting a full review of the controversial (and fascinating!) documentary, Bloodline, later.
In the meantime please note that the film's director, Bruce Burgess - who looks and acts like a sort of British version of Michael Moore, though perhaps slightly thinner (tough call) - will be present at the 7 p.m. screenings of his film at the Dallas Angelika both tonight (July 11) and on Sat. (July 12), after which he will hang around to answer questions.
Once you've seen this film, you are definitely going to have questions for him. Count on it.

I won't be able to attend, but I wonder if he thinks the trailer is misleading. The film is made to look like a documentary, which it obviously isn't. Obviously, that's fine. Lots of fictional films get made to look like documentaries, but I wonder why he did that here.
I've seen the trailer several times. I find it a tad irritating for that reason. It's a bit like the Da Vinci Code in that regard. I really think when a filmaker/author makes a film about a Religion, he's got a responsibility to make it clear that he isn't producing a work of theology, but a work of art, an exploration of issues, what if's.
I won't to say anything about a film I haven't seen yet, but if I was going to be there, I'd ask him that.

Bill - having seen it, I can report that this is, in fact, a documentary. Whether you buy in to the conclusions drawn, or the authenticity of the evidence documented, is another thing, but characterizing this as a fictional film would be even more misleading.

Wow. I had no idea. I found it's claims so outlandish, I made an assumption. My apologies.
