The Kill Team

The Kill Team

Review: The Kill Team tells the story about the so-called Maywand District murders, where at least 3 innocent Afghan civilians was murdered by American troops. It's an interesting watch, but at the same time I don't really know how to feel about it. It clearly tries to picture one of the people involved, Adam Winfield, as just a victim who got stuck in a bad position. It's quite clear that his involvement was far from sinister, but in my eyes he was far from innocent.

Rating: 7/10

The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz

Review: I had heard about Aaron Swartz prior to watching this documentary, but I didn't fully understand his contribution as an activist until now. An interesting watch. 

Rating: 6.5/10


Motivation 2: The Chris Cole Story

Motivation 2: The Chris Cole Story

Review: A decent documentary about skateboarder Chris Cole. Seems like a nice guy whose influence on modern skating is huge, but not a very interesting documentary as a whole.
