    Especially timely in light of the current escalation in Palestinian-Israeli aggressions, but this is one sad story that would pack a staggering punch in any political climate.

    Impassioned and well-crafted, One Day in September is also grueling.

    Scores its ultimate coup de grace though its interviews. Macdonald has lined up an amazing collection of interviewees.
