documentary d/ Alex Gibney
Fascinating piece on an incident that happened to a Chicago Cubs fan several years ago: he interfered with a ball in play and was subsequently vilified in Chicago media as being responsible for the team losing their chance for a championship.
Revealing study of the role of scapegoat...an ancient human practice as venerable as history itself, biblically sanctioned. The turning of the mob was caught on camera and if security hadn't scooted this guy out of the park toot sweet he would have been harmed, at least.
Nice job placing the incident in context. And we think we're so clever and classless and free...
