Worth A Look

For those who saw Schindler's List, I recommend this movie. This gives a really quick look at where Spielberg cribbed most of his ideas. Most of the poignant moments which he presents are covered in vivid detail in this documentary released over ten years before his "magnum opus." Hmmm.
