Um, you guys mispronounce Columbia in the introduction of FilmCouch #111. I believe I heard "Columbus, MO," this is incorrect. It is... "Columbia, MO." Love your show. Love your Web site. Come to True/False next year. Just so you know….

It's about an hour long.

But I didn't find it emotionally affecting, and in terms of craft, it reminded me an awful lot of an episode of COPS.

Maybe it just stuck out for me since it was pretty much the only verite-style documentary at True/False (save Burma VJ, which I was just slightly underwhelmed by), but it wrecked me and I was impressed by that subtle but really effective (I thought) transition from the women's work to their home lives. Been enjoying the roundup (you saw many of the films I wanted to but missed), keep up the good work. And right on about We Live in Public; unprompted, I just wrote a very long email to a friend about how much off-the-mark and irritating it was.
