Terror's Advocate **
Barbet Schroeder, 2007
France
@ home on DVD
I'm a sucker for logical contrarians, so I have a hard time being revolted by Schroeder's failure to castigate Jacques Verges here. This is a great, if brief, history of modern terrorism, and illuminating in so many ways. The connections between ex-Nazis and the PLO, Baader-Meinhof, etc. was particularly interesting. Anyone who takes any ideology, fighting for the oppressed for example, to such a scandalously logical end seems valuable for study and an implicit critique of travelling unthinking down what seems at the start to be a righteous path.
