16TH DOCS AGAINST GRAVITY FILM FESTIVAL
A DOG CALLED MONEY
Watchable. A social + music documentary. It starts with stories. One took me aback - I'd never expect racial segregation in the US to be so deep that even the Washington metro won't reach a black neighbourhood so as to prevent them from going to the white posh "DC". Then, music and pictures take over the narration. Lyrics first, rhythms next. The music definitely gets better as the film rolls on, incorporating more sounds of Kosovo, Washington and Kabul. Unexpectedly to me, since it's not my kind of music, it becomes quite captivating.
