Haskell Wexler
1969

I'd somehow totally forgotten I'd seen this.

I've watched in two classes now, both in the context of political engagement in film. (There's a bunch of actual footage of the 1968 DNC in Chicago where a bunch of protesters got killed that's pretty gripping.)
It's actually mostly about a news cameraman who considers himself outside the subjects he's filming and his growing sense of responsibility.
I don't know, it was better the second time around.
