TV documentary about Joe Bageant (in Italian)

Several months ago, Vasco Dones, an independent television producer for Swiss TV spent a week with Joe Bageant in Winchester, Virginia, interviewing Joe and many of the people who are profiled in Deer Hunting with Jesus. This resulted in a 30-minute documentary titled "Joe's Winchester" that was broadcast yesterday on the Italian language channel of Swiss TV and posted to the web.

The narration and voice-overs are in Italian and even if you don't understand the language the story is wonderfully told. Dones began his career as a still photographer and this is evident in the way he shoots video. Each scene is carefully framed, the camera is still, and the subjects move within the frame. Beautifully done and worth a look.

PS: This has nothing to do with above, but I just noticed that out of the hundreds of current articles on the BBC News web site, Joe's article "Why rednecks may rule the world" is the most emailed.
