OK, I've tracked down some reviews about some of the documentaries which
either I thought were most promising (and believe that the favorable
response was shared by others on the team) or have come up in our
conversations. I think "CUBAN FOOD STORIES" and "TVTV: VIDEO
REVOLUTIONARIES" have potential to be opening films. The others may better
fit later in the series. The review for "SOMM 3" does suggest that there
could be a certain snootiness (as Abbott opined) to the film or at least to
some of those shown in the film.
